by Johnny Cash
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feelI
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 every
thingwhat have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I knowgoes 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 chairfull of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right herewhat have
I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I knowgoes away in the end
and you could have it allmy empire
of dirtI will let you down
I will make you hurt
if I could start againa million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
