This one never fails to make me blub almost uncontrollably. Usually towards the 3 minute mark when a chill goes through my body at the intensity and sadness that Cash puts into it at the end.
Just writing this I've played it twice and the tears are there.
And if you want an even more intense experience, the video is crushingly sad. As Cash, sings, surrounded by memories and obviously in ill health, just a short while after the death of his wife and it shows that he's just looking back, waiting to be reunited or at least at peace.
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
