Sometimes a few minor lyric changes can change the entire focus of a song. Let's take "Hurt", for instance. I first heard this by NIN, but when I hear this version in my head, it sounds like Johnny Cash.
I hurt my spouse today / To see if he can feel / I focus on his pain / The only thing that's real / The words they tear a hole / The old familiar sting / Try to kill those dreams away / But I remember everything
What have we become / My sweetest friend / Everything I do goes awry / In the end /And you used to have it all / My empire of dirt / I feel so let down / I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns /Upon my liar's chair / Full of broken heart/ I cannot repair / Beneath the stains of time / The feelings rip and tear / I’m with someone else / While you are still right here
What have I become / My ex-best friend / Everyone I know goes away / In the end /
And you could have had it all / My empire of dirt / I feel so let down / I will make you hurt
If I could start again / A million years away / I would keep you for myself / I would find a way
