I think you're all kind of right. The song means to me that the whole time, he was just being led down the wrong path. And now he's realized it's too late to change that. He was troubled, and obviously had issues. He wishes he was different, but it's just so hard to change.
And I agree, my favorite lyrics: "I turned the page to a chapter that they thought was just a phase, but it consumed me." That line gives me eargasms. And I can relate.
