[Castiel protests immediately, but it's weak, because so much of what Lucifer is saying is ringing true despite wanting to believe it's a lie.]
I didn't act for the same reason as you.
[But if Lucifer had just wanted to be with the person he loves, and fighting had been the only way to achieve that... Hadn't he? The Winchesters had been Castiel's main motivation the entire time, even if he'd had secondary ones--let the angels have freedom, to overthrow the oppressive rule in Heaven--and how is that different than what Lucifer claimed his reasons were?
He shouldn't even be considering this; he should be writing it off immediately without consideration. But he's too drunk to do so, and so the thoughts just swirl around in his mind.]
