Cash, Johnny - Hurt 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

    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 liars chair
    Full of broken thoughts
    I cannot repair
    Beneath the stains of time
    The feelings disappear
    You are someone else

    Goes away in the end"

    Deep words!

  28. W.... J....

    There are a million and one cover songs in the world but there will ever be a cover song that will be as great as hearing Johnny Cash singing Hurt. His gravely voice, the emotional undertones, this is the most immersive song when done by the Man in Black, Johnny Cash.

  29. c.... t....

    Mr cash was wat i pictured a man to be as a lil kid & this was b4 i knew anything about him or music. He just reminded me of a mans man.

  30. A.... M....

    Varolasın.

    I hurt myself today
    (今日、俺は自分を傷つける)
    To see if I still feel
    (まだ感覚が残ってるかどうか確かめるために)
    I focus on the pain
    (俺は痛みに集中する)
    The only thing that’s real
    (この痛みだけが唯一の真実であるのだ)
    The needle tears a hole
    (針で傷口をえぐる)
    The old familiar sting ※01
    (古傷の上を何度も突き刺し)
    Try to kill it all away
    (すべてなかったことにしようとしたとしても)
    But I remember everything
    (すぐに記憶は蘇ってくる)
    What have I become, my sweetest friend
    (俺は何者になったのだろうか、友よ)
    Everyone I know goes away in the end
    (皆、俺の知ってる奴らは最後には去っていった)
    You could have it all
    (おまえはきっとすべてを手に入れられる)
    My empire of dirt ※02
    (塵で塗り固められた王国で)
    I will let you down
    (俺はおまえを失望させるだろう)
    I will make you hurt
    (そして、きっとおまえを傷つける)
    I wear this crown of thorns ※03
    (棘の冠を頭に載せ)
    Upon my liar’s chair
    (偽りの玉座に座る)
    Full of broken thoughts
    (狂った考えで頭の中は支配され)
    I cannot repair
    (もはや取り除くことはできない)
    Beneath the stains of time ※04
    (過去の栄光にも値はせず)
    The feelings disappear
    (その感覚は消え去ってしまった)
    You are someone else
    (おまえは他の誰かであって)
    I am still right here
    (俺はまだここに佇んでいる)
    What have I become, my sweetest friend
    (俺は何者になったのだろうか、友よ)
    Everyone I know goes away in the end
    (皆、俺の知ってる奴らは最後には去っていった)
    You could have it all
    (おまえはきっとすべてを手に入れられる)
    My empire of dirt
    (塵で塗り固められた王国で)
    I will let you down
    (俺はおまえを失望させるだろう)
    I will make you hurt
    (そして、きっとおまえを傷つける)
    If I could start again
    (もし、もう一度やり直せるなら)
    A million miles away
    (100万マイル離れた場所から)
    I would keep myself
    (俺は自分自身であり続けるだろう)
    I would find a way
    (きっとそういう道を見つけられると思うんだ)

  32. m.... a....

    tears of emotions. i´ve been looking for some girls many years :)
    like over here who has been going throug the same

    Sometimes I dive deep down my inner ocean

    Looking for strength to stay above!

  34. T.... a....

    I want his young self back!

  35. D.... M....

    Johnny Cash...a man's man.

  36. d.... l....

    lifes ablast les not take it too fast too much too fast too soon, thank dear christ

  37. D.... D....

    best song EVER

  38. P.... R....

    one of the best and most powerful music videos ever made

  39. M.... v....

    It hurts in its living forever beauty. Thank you so much Johnny Cash.

  40. N.... B....

    People think physical possesions are great cause you never think about the end. This song is the proof that nothing physical in your life matters. Be the best you can and be kind to one another while you're here.

  41. c.... s....

    The Legend 👍

  42. K.... M....

    What a beautiful and powerful video from The Man In Black. I still miss Johnny Cash till this day. When I heard Trent Reznor say that's his song now for him and I thought that was terrific for him to do that, I give you a pat on the back.

  43. K.... E....

    One of the best musicians to ever pick up a guitar.

  44. P.... K....

    i will let u down i will make u hurt. 🥀💔

  45. D.... D....

    I agree, I am with you.... ❤️

  46. W.... J....

    This is a very powerful song.

  47. D.... M....

    who was that guitar signed by? George Harrison? Cant read it.

  48. A.... 1....

    Papà...aiutami. Ti penso sempre....

  49. M.... ....

    drunkard and drug addict who cheated on his wife - american idol, buhahaha

  50. N.... M....

    took a great song and made it timeless

  51. S.... O....

    The first song I learned on mah guitar a couple days o go.

  52. C.... H....

    This is garbage

  53. b.... ....

    i keep forgetting this is a cover for fucksake, this shit is better all the way though.

  54. b.... ....

    why the fuck was this reuploaded

  55. j.... ....

    One of the few country singers I can listen to. What a damn good song

  56. K.... A....

    I wonder if he got what he wished for

  57. D.... S....

    Who dislikes this song?

    D.... S....

    Or this video! It’s fuckin beautiful. People I tell ya

    D.... S....

    When did he died?

    D.... S....

    Billie Eilish was jealous and made troll accounts

  58. C.... D....

    It's almost amusing the degree of impact this man had on the world. You go to a video from 6 or more years ago and often you will find the most recent comment is like two months old. Johnny had such an impact every day you can come back and there is new comments. All of which praise this man and give him the respect he deserves and show how we should live. This man was a legend and died in piece but sadly I feel to soon. Rest in piece, Johnny Cash.

  59. R.... ....

    Rest in peace MR johnny cash.

  60. S.... ....

    The man, the legend, God only gives us a scant few of men like Johnny Cash. Remember him well, remember him always. God bless.

  61. D.... T....

    Quizá sea tonto pero a mis 20 años me siento tan nostálgico y miserable, tengo miedo de morir solo.

  62. N.... M....

    "It was very strange, it was this person inhabiting my most personal song, it felt invasive, Its not my song anymore" -Trent Raznor, Original Composer of Hurt

    N.... M....

    Yeah cool this is completely out of context, for anyone reading this here's the full article where he says this, and then states that he really loved the cover after seeing the music video lol

  63. T.... P....

    This is sad but me and him were both born on febuary 26

  64. P.... C....

    WHO THE HELL DOWNVOTES JOHNNY CASH?!

  65. T.... ....

    I really cried a lot. It’s so depressive song. Everyone can see a little part of himself in lyrics :(

  66. �.... �....

    Это поймут только те кто знает русский. Офигенная песня.

  67. C.... B....

    He died 6 months after his wife they say he died of a broken heart

    C.... B....

    Yes. That happens pretty often with elderly couples.

    C.... B....

    Four months, not six.

    This song and his voice is full of feelings. It makes me cry everytime without a personel reason.

  71. D.... R....

    ❤️❤️

  72. T.... N....

    Musica do red dead redemcho

  73. T.... ....

    When you enough of everything, and just waiting for death to come ,,

  74. B.... G....

    My heart feels hot and it hurts because of my memorys

  75. c.... ....

    Cash’s version comes to close to the bone. Dealing with advanced cancer, brain tumors, emergency spinal surgery. Looking back on my life I regret the mistakes I have made, of roads I did not take, of people I have hurt. Please do not wait till it is to late. Appreciate life. Forgive. Be kind.

  76. S.... ....

    So many people thanking him... and its deserved. He covered this song like no other. But do not forget NIN... the one who actually wrote this song. It was a collaberation between two incredible people~

  77. C.... M....

    Two words Johnny changed from Trent Reznor's original. Trent says "crown of shit" and John says "crown of thorns". Trent says at the end "I will find a way" and Johnny says "I would find a way". Both changes make sense to me. It would be unnecessarily harsh for Johnny to say "shit" in such a song, and the last line works better as Johnny reflecting on what he could have done in the past. In fact Trent's last line does not really make sense because he is thinking about what could have been, not what he will be doing.

  78. C.... M....

    Great song by Trent Reznor. Perfect for Johnny Cash.

  79. D.... S....

    Full of broken thoughts

  80. S.... M....

    Why is life so unfair? Where is God? if he is real, why does he make a person suffer so much? I am sorry...I just need to cry and let my feelings out😭 I suffer but from pain in my heart of seeing my husband with pain 24/7😭

    Too much whiskey. I shouldn't be listening to this. But everyone goes away in the end. Ya know they really do. Everyone is asleep and I'm wondering... I'm in love with someone I can't be with and this song is haunting me. Black dog and maybe I should go. Maybe that would be best. I love you Jennifer.

  91. E.... P....

    as a heroin addict, each lyric hits me- so, so, so very hard.
    “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.”

    E.... P....

    I pray for you. I kicked it. So can you
