"Hurt" lyrics
(originally by Nine Inch Nails)
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focused 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
And everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
And I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
That I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
And I am still right here
What have I become
My sweetest friend
And everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
And I will let you down
And I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way, yeah
To see if I still feel
I focused 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
And everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
And I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
That I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
And I am still right here
What have I become
My sweetest friend
And everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
And I will let you down
And I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way, yeah
