Song lyrics

Send "Hurt" ringtones to your cell

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
I 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

You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of shit
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
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.

5 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Oh, I love this song so much. God, I never get sick of it. Love the lyrics, and the song itself has a kind of own thing about it. But you got to listen to Johnny Cash with this song too. His voice and this song. You gotta love it..

15 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i love this song. its incredibly haunting, you can tell trent really wasnt in a great place when he did this song. there isnt a nin song that really lets you in, as far as seeing the real trent i think, and although people who don't know him can't assume they do, i do think this song is a real insight the johnny cash cover is also amazing. its a song you cant sing without it meaning something incredibly profound

22 posts	great song.. so much better than johnny cash's version cuz his voice fits it so much better

22,056 posts	NIN's was the original...johnny cash covered it...all of his later albums contained contemporary covers of modernish songs back on topic, great tune, whether song by Trent or the man in black...its still a great tune...i guess the appeal of Johnny's is be cause he sang this song with cleaner music and he was already in the twilight of his life and his wife just died, so johnny cash's situation just fit the lyrics so well still...great song no matter how you slice it

11 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song has something in it that I can't discribe. It's so overfilled with sadness and lonelyness and other feelings which feed in together so so so so so so good. It's just kind of perfect... It just brings over the way I often feel. I know this song from my boyfriend, Felix, who sang it to me as we were alone for the first time. He was so broken..... I started to cry because of his situation. He just sat down next to me and whispered/sang the song from the beginning in my ear. It was the only time in my life I saw his tears. And I love him so much... I sweared myself to do everything he wants or needs to make him feel better. I want to save him. He does the same for me and so we both feel not alone and the pain is not as bad as before. We're both singers in the same group and it's the best thing ever to love him and to hear him singing and to see him dancing. I still always see him crying, but only inside. I know it's even worth, but with everyday he spends with me it's getting less and less... Fell, I love you. Stay creative baby, hold your head up. You're so fucking special..... You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry. You float like a feather. In a beautifull world. I wish I was special.....You're so fucking special.... That was radiohead. If you haven't heard it yet, load it down!!!! It's called Creep. You guyz can mail me if you want, I'm always open for new people. Di_chan@web.de
