Answers:
That you have changed and they liked the person you were before, better
speaker is telling the person that the person has "sold out," "lost their soul," or otherwise lost a quality that the speaker vealued.
I don't recognise you anymore / you are not the same person as before / I wish you hadn't changed so much, I miss you / you have left behind so much of the person I knew or fell in love with, that I don't recognise you so I miss you
You have changed, for the worse. I want you back the way you were.
I am not familiar with this phrase as a classical or popular quote. If this is from a specific source and you need it to be analyzed in context please provide information on the source or context in which it was delivered.
As presented, the quote implies that an individual has let go of qualities (perhaps preferences, views, opinions, quirks, generally unique characteristics that makes an individual who they are). The individual may have done this out of a desire to evolve as a person, to get ahead, to compete, to fit in, or literally to conform. The speaker, however, does not appreciate or like this new behavior.
For example, if a person once was known for blunt honesty (ex. that shirt is not the right color for your complexion) but now flatters everyone (ex. isn't that a lovely shirt!), an observer may note that this (or a similar) change has made them like a new person and he or she perhaps misses the old one (or old "you").
