I just love the song regardless of its meaning. Now for my spin on the song:
I watched you change into a fly
The girl he once knew has matured into someone unrecognizable to him; he doesn't like it
I looked away, you were on fire
She is proud and assertive of the new her, and feels on top of the world
I watched a change in you, it's like you never had wings
He will not accept nor allow the change in her, and wants her as she was
And you feel so alive, I've watched you change
He scorns the new her and her attitude
I took you home, set you on the glass
He tells her he can see through her, and that she is still just a maggot
I pulled off your wings, then I laughed
He physically and emotionally reduces her to nothing by mocking her of her delusional beliefs
I watched a change in you, it's like you never had words
She is too wounded to speak and has nothing to say; he's now happy believing she is as she was
Now you feel so alive, I watched you change; It's like you never had...
He puts her fire out, and watches her change back to before she had wings, lying to himself that she is happier now when she is crushed
I look at the cross, and I look away
His conscience makes him realize too late he was wrong in what he did
Give you the gun, blow me away
He tries to show penitence by surrendering to her and not fighting any retribution
I watched a change in you, it's like you never had words
Now recovered by her ordeal, she chooses not to say a thing
Now you feel so alive, I've watched you change; It's like you never had...
She feels alive now because she confidently moves on with her life, "like you never had... me"
