I always viewed this as a song focused on coming out of the closet.
Being miserable because you're afraid and feel alone.
Then saying you need the people you love to comfort you,
and the things you love to bring you out of your pit of depression.
The lying to yourself, trying to convince yourself you're straight,
and then lying to those you love because your afraid of not having acceptance.
It could also be about depression, lying, saying you're happy or just fine.
And when you finally explain to someone they're upset at how long you've kept it from them.
Then you become more miserable knowing you've hurt them in some way,
and plea for them to just be there for you because that's what you need most.
