She changed it with, "He was a moth to the flame / She was holding the matches, whoa."

Some took offense with the earlier lyrics when the song was released in 2010, calling them "problematic."

"I was 18 when I wrote that. That's the age you are when you think someone can actually take your boyfriend. Then you grow up and realize no one can take someone from you if they don't want to leave," Taylor said in a past interview.
