[Intro]
[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
[Chorus]
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
[Transition]
[Verse 2]
I wear this crown of thorns upon my liars chair
Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time the feeling disappears
You are someone else I am still right here
[Chorus 2]
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

Super playable, true to the song, and beautiful! The only thing I would add is an "Am" chord to the last "way". Other than that, it's really nicely done :')

About this song: Hurt
"Hurt" was written by Trent Reznor and first released on Nine Inch Nails' 1994 album The Downward Spiral. Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" was released on his 2002 album, American IV: The Man Comes Around. Rick Rubin, producer of Cash's American series and a friend of Reznor's, suggested the song to Cash. The line "crown of shit" was changed to "crown of thorns", not only removing profanity from the lyrics, but also more directly referencing Christ. Read more on Last.fm.
