To make you want me I can fabricate the truth
I'll give you easy it'll keep me destitute
You hang me up on the line, hang me out to dry
And you got nothing to lose
You've got the story all made up inside your head
You write me out of it and use your words instead
You hold me just out of reach, but you keep me pounding the beat
To take all the soul you can get
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change
You take no chances and you give no other choice
You fill your pockets and you empty out my voice
You use the shallow and old, trade the heart for the gold
You sell the song for the noise
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change
I'll give you easy it'll keep me destitute
You hang me up on the line, hang me out to dry
And you got nothing to lose
You write me out of it and use your words instead
You hold me just out of reach, but you keep me pounding the beat
To take all the soul you can get
You want me to change
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change
You fill your pockets and you empty out my voice
You use the shallow and old, trade the heart for the gold
You sell the song for the noise
You want me to change
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change
You want me to change
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change

I think she's talking about somebody wanting her to... change... maybe..
Seriously though, pretty straightforward to anyone who was in a relationship which one time or another had a rough patch, so every relationship ever - sometimes there comes a time a partner feels the other one has much too much power over her/him, takes her only for granted and has stopped understanding her and and has made a completely fabricated image of her in his head which doesn't correspond to the real person at all any more.
I was watching an interview with them and they said it was also about not wanting the record label they signed with to change them.

I think this song is about their record company or somebody within the band or behind the scenes. Especially the second verse. It sounds like she's talking about somebody wanting her or them to sell out just to be more commercially successful.
