Could I trouble you?
Don't you know who you are?
Since it became unglued
I finally picked up all the parts

Cause it seems to come together
Its where we come apart
We make a big connection
I build it with my house of...

I wrote an epitaph
Less than a paragraph today
I rolled it up and smoked it
And took it to my insides, I'm ashamed

when I troubled you
You didn't even know just who you were
But you've come unglued
And all that's left were all my words...

They mean nothing to you at all
Cause my world... means nothing to you at all
Yeah my world... means nothing to you at all
Cause my world... means nothing to you at all, so tell the truth
(So tell the truth, you know)

I said 'I'm sorry'
I said 'I'm sorry' to you
We answer questions
Pretending to...

Oh yeah it's all good, when I'm sober
But I'm on this, cause I'm a looser
Oh yeah it's all bad, when it's all gone
And I'm sorry for you

Cause my world... it means nothing to you at all
When my world... it means nothing to you at all
Yeah my world... means nothing to you at all
Cause my world... means nothing to you at all, so tell the truth

    My Interpretation

    My own relationship just hit a huge rut and it will fall apart due to this rut, so this song is speaking volumes to me as I write this. To me, it is definitely a relationship song. And it has kind of already been said by hcmtnbiker. This guy has tons of problems and his life is falling apart. He is trying to fix it and tells her he is (my words mean nothing...). She, over time, realizes she is better than him. She doesn't care about his problems. She doesn't care what he is trying to do to fix it (drug addiction COULD be one of these unspoken problems though. We can't cast the rolled it up and smoked it line completely) or what he says he feels for her or what she means to him during his darkest hours.

    The "I'm sorry for you" line towards the end is simply saying he is sorry that she could completely push him to the side and not care anymore. He accepts he is a loser and no good, as he always did. But he is sorry she went from a person he thought cared for him to a person who totally agrees and thus, leaves him.
