This song is from the album Faith, which is the opposite of "Doubt." The album also features a title-track, which seems to be the other side to the same coin as "Doubt."
So in essence,
"Faith" is about holding it all in.
"Doubt" is about letting it all go.
In "Faith," he talks about his misery, and as a clown in a crowd, just sits like a mountain or something to that effect, and in the ends, just ends up with nothing but faith that maybe things will change.
In "Doubt," he lets it all go, and is "drained of everything but pain." In the song, he kills someone over and over, again, and he can't help it.
In all, it seems like the relationship he held during this time, was on the verge of destruction as he was feeling like shit, and bringing her down with him, so he had one of two choices: continue hurting her until she leaves him ("Doubt"), or he stays and waits it out ("Faith").
