I didn't get the bullying aspect of these lyrics; to me, it's about a person telling his loved one that he is flawed, he does and will continue to make mistakes, but that his lover is the bigger person, "high above" him, because she loves him anyway, always. He's begging her to pull the "splinters" from him, his vices and faults, to make him better for her.
I think it's really sweet. This song comes off sort of hokey-country-ballad-ish upon first listening, but like lguard73 said, seeing them perform "Always Do" live completely alters your perception of it.
