The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
Even if I wanted to love you
Would you love me
Even if I wanted to fall for you
Would you fall for me
Even if I never meant to hurt you
Would you hurt me
Even if I wanted to pray for you
Hold me, hold me close
Never let go
Tell me what you need
And I promise I'll take control
Even if I wanted to run with you
Would you run with me
Even if I wanted to hold you
Even if I never meant to hurt you
Would you hurt me
Even if I wanted to pray for you
Holy, holy ghost
Where have you gone
In the middle of the night
I feel your presence taking control
So many reasons that we could never get caught
I tried to tell you but you didn't wanna stop
I tried to tell you but you didn't listen
I tried to tell you but you
So many reasons that we could never get caught
I tried to tell you but you didn't wanna stop
I tried to tell you but you didn't listen
I tried to tell you but you
Hold me, hold me close
Never let go
Tell me what you need
And I promise I'll take control
Even if I wanted to love you
Would you love me
Even if I wanted to fall for you
Would you fall for me
Even if I never meant to hurt you
Would you hurt me
Even if I wanted to pray for you
Would you love me
Even if I wanted to fall for you
Would you fall for me
Even if I never meant to hurt you
Would you hurt me
Even if I wanted to pray for you
Hold me, hold me close
Never let go
Tell me what you need
And I promise I'll take control
Even if I wanted to run with you
Would you run with me
Even if I wanted to hold you
Even if I never meant to hurt you
Would you hurt me
Even if I wanted to pray for you
Holy, holy ghost
Where have you gone
In the middle of the night
I feel your presence taking control
So many reasons that we could never get caught
I tried to tell you but you didn't wanna stop
I tried to tell you but you didn't listen
I tried to tell you but you
So many reasons that we could never get caught
I tried to tell you but you didn't wanna stop
I tried to tell you but you didn't listen
I tried to tell you but you
Hold me, hold me close
Never let go
Tell me what you need
And I promise I'll take control
Even if I wanted to love you
Would you love me
Even if I wanted to fall for you
Would you fall for me
Even if I never meant to hurt you
Would you hurt me
Even if I wanted to pray for you
