Cover art for The Writer lyrics by Ellie Goulding

At one of her concerts she said:

This is about when you like someone but they don't like you back so you try to change yourself so they will like you. Like they smoke so you start smoking, or they dress punk so you start wearing punk clothing...

Her point is i guess that she wish he could sculpt her and tell her what to say so she would be perfect for him and he would be in love with her too.

Awesome song :D

@Christy56 This analogy is absolutely perfect and I agree!
