I believe the song is writen to a girl that has inspired him to be better, and he really wants to be the man she sees when she looks at him. Yet no matter how hard he tries to live up to the image she holds for him the truth he's keeping inside is slowly seping through. So he's forced to show her his true colors and in essnce revealing himself as a chameleon, one who shade changes to reflect the world around him. He changed to fit into her world but his demons are so strong he so often has to change back. I think it 's kinda like saying he wants to be the man that she deserves but he's an addict and an emotional mess so he's going to really need her help to become worthy of her.
