I think he's talking to girl, who he loves but she's still part of her druggie ex-boyfriend's life and he used to be part of that crowd and he's tried to help the guy too but its no use. I think he is trying to help her see that the druggie guy is too far gone, that no one can help him, and he's in so deep that he won't come out, his addiction is going to kill him. and as much as she wants to think otherwise, or give the guy a sexond chance, she'll just keep getting hurt. i think the "you're so sweet i wanna cry" is him talking about how she's put up with so much and he loves how caring she is but it makes him want to cry because he knows its hurting her to keep trying to help her former lover.
im horrible at this stuff, but thats kind of what i got out of it.
Actually, i think the lyrics are
We're back there and the heartbreak came Yeah it hit me pretty hard I waved hello and goodbye to the ghosts on the boulevard
Well oh, oh my baby You're so sweet it makes me cry well oh, oh my baby you're so sweet it makes me cry
You're so sweet, you're so sweet you're so sweet, I wanna cry
la,la,la,la,la la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la, la,la,la,la,la
well I dealt with the dope fiends hunny just trying to sympathize well he turned and looked at me with his cold, dead, blood-red, drag queen eyes
oh, oh my baby you're so sweet it makes me cry well oh, oh my baby you're so sweet it makes me cry
you're so sweet, you're so sweet you're so sweet, I wanna cry
la,la,la,la,la la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la la,la,la,la,la
your former lover is leaving checkin' out not coming back
the downtown trains have taken him screaming all down the track
There is a terrible taste on his tongue from the chemicals he's gonna spit his blood all over the dope white walls
you're so sweet, you're so sweet you're so sweet, i wanna cry
la,la,la,la,la la,la,la,la,la la,la,la,la,la la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la la,la,la,la,la la,la,la,
la,la,la,la,la la,la,la,la,la
