To me this song is about the situation between two friends, perhaps Christian, where one has slowly lost faith. The other friend has witnessed his friend come from a life full of sin to a better one with Jesus, and now he is watching that same friend be tempted with the same things over again. The faithful friend states that "its not the way it used to be" and he pleads with the other not to fall back down and make the same mistakes all over and that if he just believes in himself that he can make it through.
I believe this song is definately spoken from experience.
to me i think the topic/character, is someone who is double minded(not really believing in path), because if your divided then you're not united in one cause. and if you are in favor of both path, then you're stuck having to decide which ONE path to follow. The references to "Fell and hit hard", and "Your wounds are healed, by now, but you still have your scars", have to be about someones huge drug addiction, because when you comedown off the high, there's a "crash", or "fall of the wagon". The charcter in the song is clean...

The charcter in the song is clean for the time being and doesn't have any urges to take the drugs, hence; "Your wounds are healed". "You still have your scars", probably reference the experience on the drug, on him psychological, relations, any traumatic events, remember if the charcter was on a psychotropic drug for a while he will hallucinate, and reality may be altered, so if events were traumatic, it will stay with him for the rest of his life, like "scars" do. Maybe the Character has a low self-esteem, "believe" in yourself, also "walk that line" means to not stray from going forward having a goal and plan and not deviating from it. Relapsing again, will hurt his current path, but this future one especially if he was really addicted to to the drug. Anyway 3 doors down are awesome and one of my favorite bands.
