I wouldn't be surprised if this song was about drug abuse. Firstly, the line 'there is nothing that competes with habit' - i.e. a drug habit. 'and I know it's neither deep nor tragic' - I've personally known a lot of people who have got into drugs, particularly cocaine and heroin, because it has been glamourised by the movies as being 'deep and tragic'. Obviously the next line follows on this idea.
When she says she wishes she had been young and stupid so she could 'have the fun that you did' perhaps she's regretting the fact that she can't relate to this person because it was never something she was involved in. In 'Save Me' she refers to herself as a girl in need of a tourniquette - which perhaps could be taken as a reference to her desire to take heroin (as a tourniquette is used when injecting) (possibly a long shot)
When she talks about searching the rubble it could be saying that she's lost this person to the habit - the rubble being the ruins of a life lost to drugs.
As for the making a killing bit - that's lost on me.
