Letra Hurt

Hurt es una canción escrita por Trent Reznor, lanzada por primera vez en el álbum The Downward Spiral de Nine Inch Nails en 1994. Más tarde, Johnny Cash hizo una versión de esta canción en 2002, que fue uno de sus últimos éxitos antes de su muerte. La letra habla sobre el dolor, el remordimiento y la carga del arrepentimiento, reflejando la lucha de Reznor con su propia depresión y problemas de abuso de sustancias en ese momento.

 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
(single strum)
