Johnny Cash
Hurt

2002

De Videoclip van dit nummer had ik toevallig opgenomen en ik heb het veel bekeken.

Ik wachtte altijd op dat zinnetje "You stay the hell away from me, you hear".

Het blijft een ontroerend nummer en prachtige videoclip. Johnny Cash is in 2003 overleden.   

Lyrics

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.
