So before you take this song as truth
You should wonder what I'm taking from you
How I benefit from you being here
Lending me your ears while I'm selling you my fears
Maybe that bit means that before whoever he's on about takes the song to mean he's glad to be free and out following his dreams, and thinks it's a negative way of looking at them, being a past relationship or whatever
He's always thinking of them, and reflecting on his past
The bit where it says they are lending him their ears means he's grateful they are taking the time to listen to his music, because whoever he is talking to inspired the song. but it's bittersweet because his 'fears' also come from them, as he wants to be free to do as he pleases 'out on the main street'... without them, just watching from a distance.
