I hope I'm not late to the party, but I heard this song again after years, and while the contrary interpretations make sense, here are a few keywords I picked out to elaborate on my own. In the ending bridge:
"I wanna love you
But something's pulling me away from you
Jesus is my virtue
And Judas is the demon I cling to
I cling to"
It could represent a theory between two lovers, one who betrayed the other and now regrets it, while the other contemplates betraying in return because they have been hurt by Judas. The line "something's pulling me away" suggests a conflict, where despite knowing Jesus is the healthier choice, the intoxication and allure of Judas is what they desire, even though they are well aware it brings no fulfillment. I could be completely wrong, but this part seems to reveal the realization that she's pulling away from someone better.

@ohumamah That's a good way to think of it I'm not a big fan of this song, but my friend is always singing it for no reason
