Like blessthebeloved said, it really is about someone's significant other or friend or somebody close... and their addiction to drugs.
"If only you could see the stranger next to me"
He's talking about how his friend or whomever is not the same person whilst they are on drugs.
"You promised you promised that you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs"
His friend says that they're done with the drugs... but his friend can't stop.
"Keep my heart somewhere drugs don't go"
I think that line has so much significance to this song... He doesn't want his friend to fall so much into the addiction that they forget all about him. He wants his friend to keep him close to his heart no matter what.
I adore this song... too powerful. Too close to home.
