“Hurt” is a song written by Trent Reznor, first released on Nine Inch Nails’ 1994 album The Downward Spiral. In 2002, 
Hurt was covered by Johnny Cash to critical acclaim; it was one of Cash’s final hit releases before his death.
Reznor’s comments after seeing the video of the Cash version of his song were:
“I pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn’t mine anymore… It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure.” Here is a link to the Johnny Cash video cover.

I heard Cash's first, but they both have different feels so I don't think either is better.

johnny cash did a great version, for sure, but it's almost a different song in his hands. he just couldn't (and smartly, didn't try to) capture the vulnerability in trent's voice. i love the way he sounds so on the edge, and so human. the lyrics are perfect. in my opinion, the most heartbreaking song ever, and also one of the most brilliant.
