Hurt Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
[Chorus]
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
[Chorus]
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
[Outro]
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
