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

Johnny is the man. Original is pretty good too but he just puts more emotion into it
does anyone think johnny was a suicider in the end??
Pretty sure he died of complications from diabetes
what i actually meant was asking if he was suicidal in his head, its clear to me that the story is that he died from natural causes.
I absolutely adore this song. It’s kind of lame that the first time I heard it was on TOTP when I was a kid, and then for years afterwards I kept replaying some of the words in my head, but could never remember what it was called. Then when my house acquired the internet (Hell yeah ’90s!) I was finally able to find out what it was.
I just watched the video you posted. I haven’t seen it for a while, but it still gives me chills.
Who is this guy?
He didn’t write this song and he dedicated it to his dead wife
I love this song. my anthem
