To me, this song is about wanting to be with someone very wrong for you, yet the attraction being so strong between the two, that it doesn't matter how wrong it may end up in the end, and that it just HAS to happen, eventually. One day.
So, the guy lays his faults out bare boned for the girl to see, letting her know that he too isn't, or atleast wasn't perfect at a previous time in his life (and may even still not be so perfect). Basically letting her know that he knows how it feels to feel like life's at it's lowest and most confusing stage in itself.
He even recalls a time when he once knew her, and they were both stronger people than they are at present time. Like life itself wore them both down with time, and now they're both just somewhat lost but not yet too far gone to be saved.
It's a very sincere song. Admitting one's imperfections, realizing someone else too isn't perfect, but setting it aside and wanting to make things right for the both of them on the whole. A very "we can fix eachother, if we try hard enough" song. Almost like holding onto a hopeless situation, and trying to defy it's odds of it all crashing down and becoming worse.
