===I Would For You===
This is the only known version. A beat loop characterised by quick double kicks opens this track, with deep bass and quiet vocals creating the first verse. Choruses open up with a simpler, clearer drum loop, a different bassline, and strange guitar layering that acts like a strings keyboard patch, creating a large stage for Reznor's loud and echoing vocals. The second chorus is followed by a new distorted guitar riff, which repeats as synth and percussion layers build; these eventually give way to a solitary piano melody, which quietly segues into "[[In Two]]" in a method recalling "[[Lights In The Sky (song)|Lights in the Sky]]" becoming "[[Corona Radiata]]" on ''[[The Slip]]''.
===Lyrics===
    What a pathetic string of words
    Just leave them lying on the floor
    The warning posted on the door
    Not over here not anymore
    There was a place that could have been
    Step over all that used to be
    Since you've invited yourself in
    Some things I'd rather you not see
    
    See I keep lying to myself
    Don't know what else there is to do
    If I could be somebody else
    Well, I think I would for you
    
    Didn't seem like something more?
    So long I can't remember when
    And this has happened all before
    And this will happen all again
    And I only have myself to blame
    And I only have myself to blame
    
    See I keep lying to myself
    Don't know what else there is to do
    If I could be somebody else
    Well, I think I would for you
