I can totally connect to this song because this happened to me just recently. It's about a guy who tries to make the girl perfect and only focuses on what he wants to see rather than who she really is. He doesn't accept who she truly is and just wants her to be the way he wants her to be. She realizes that she's happy with who she is at the end of the song but by that time, it's too late and he has morphed her into something she's not. The best lines that automatically draw me into the song are You never take Take the time to really look Look at the one The one I really am

You try to fit To fit me in a perfect box You let me slip between the cracks

[CHORUS:] Which basically mean that he doesn't appreciate who she is and is only focused on trying to make her perfect. He seems to not accept flaws and only settles for perfection.
