I think Iīve got an explanation:
In Ms Dionīs version itīs all about a coupe that was falling apart because their relationship just had an end and she feels all again and wishes him back.
And the end of their relationship was described with the empty threats and hollow lies part.

But Meat sings about a girl that DIED long ago, when their relationship was (kinda) harmonic, and there wasnt even enough time for them to come to the time of empty threats and hollow lies and so on.

So it was not their fault (well, not really) that they lost each other.

So the same song got two completely different meanings just because of leaving 3 or 4 lines, interesting...


What do you think?
I agree - Meat's version is looking back on their all too brief time together much more fondly than Celine's did. Celine's version seemed to be about getting back with someone with whom she had a very rocky relationship, whereas Meat seems to be remembering a beautiful relationship.
