Cover art for Don't Need You lyrics by Smile Empty Soul

I agree with the drug addict theory. I think that he pushed away all his friends

"They always warned Don’t get caught up you’ll just get burned"

that makes me think all his friends told him not to get caught up in her and the drugs but he didn't listen and now the "storm has come" and their going to break up and he wonders if he can go on without the drugs because she and the drugs "cover his scars" and help him forget about his shitty past.

Just my views.
