"Hurt" lyrics

"Hurt"
(originally by Nine Inch Nails)

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
I 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

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
And now you are someone else
But I am still right here

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
Hurt
Hurt

If I could start again
I would find a way
A way
A way
