A relationship with someone his family/friends disapprove of is what makes the most sense to me. I think it being about drugs is an interesting theory, but some of the lyrics don't really seem to fit.
What they disapprove of/are disappointed by, I'm not sure. It sounds sorta like he's holding on to a relationship that's pretty much over and people are disappointed that he's not letting go. Or possibly the person he loved died, and he's not moving on?
Or it could just be a relationship that's forbidden for whatever reason--I agree with spike69 that he could be gay. Aside from their songs all being open to interpretation, none of them mention a female in any way--no "she" or "her" or "girl" or anything, it's always "you".
I feel like the title is the key. It seems to have nothing to do with the song, but I think it's gotta mean something.
