Same words but one is about a young man’s heroin addiction and the other about an old man with a lifetime of regrets.
Depending on your life experience one or other might resonate with you more.

One line in the song doesn't mean the song is centered around it. Hurt is the epilogue to the Downward Spiral, the song before features the protagonist's suicide. Heroin isn't the only problem he had.

Johnny cash also struggled with addiction (amphetamines, alcohol and sedatives). Wouldn’t be surprised if there was heroin as well. But many of his lifetime of regrets are related to the same things we associate the original recording with.

So Trent Reznor didn’t do heroin there buddy.
He was an alcoholic and cocaine addict. He got sober after accidentally snorting heroin which he believed was cocaine.
