“It’s not codependent. And what we have is not fucked-up. We’re two guys from completely different upbringings, completely different lives, yet we see something in each other that no one else does. You think you’re shallow and that there’s nothing behind the pop star and the manufactured persona the label gave you, but when I look at you, I see someone who wants to be appreciated. Who wants validation and respect. I see someone who’s begging to be loved.”
