Johnny Cash – Hurt – NIN cover
“Hurt” was originally sung by NIN, and later covered by Johnny Cash, of all people. I like the original NIN version better. At any rate, it’s a beautiful testament to the pain we all feel in our lives at times.
Johnny Cash – Hurt – NIN cover
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of shit
On my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
my sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away in the end
You could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way…
