Johnny Cash - Hurt

[strugl]

One of the most depressing songs of all time

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
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

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
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

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

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

LOL someone had to bring it up !!
but thats not my point

Uh, ok. But isn't your point that it is one of the most depressing songs ever written ? Maybe you should give credit to the person that actually wrote the song.

I do like Johnny's version better, but yeah he didn't write it. He did a lot of covers in his American series and this was one of them. Great cover.

I agree with eris or do you feel the same way as the lyrics?

 

[eris]

^^ yes, dear, but Johnny Cash didn't write the lyrics



this is really not important. he likes the song and let the thread be about that


*blows kisses*

Johnny Cash made this song his own really. He was awesome, his cover of Nick Cave's The Mercy Seat is brilliant.
