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 hold
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
[Chorus:]What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes awayIn the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughtsI cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone elseI am still right here
[Chorus:]What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes awayIn 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
Johnny Cash a.k.a The Man in Black
I think this is the saddest song ever written. He took it from the band Nine-Inch Nails and turned it into a ballad. He sang it just after his wife died. The man himself died in 2003. He was a strong crusader for the little man, men put behind bars unjustly. He always wore black, thus his nickname. So continues his legacy. Just listen to this song.

Johnny Cash's version is good, but nowhere near as haunting as the original 'Hurt' by the Nine Inch Nails man! A great song tho, but just don't listen to it too often because I find it tends to make me depressive and suicidal.. haahah
Eh i havent heard the Nine Inch version wei, must listen to it n compare. Thanx man, cool it wit the suicidal part wei, hehehe
