I think the song is about giving up, or being so dramatic over something, that you make it worse than it is. When he says, "Drink the poison when you think it's over. Stabbing yourself, when you think it's too late," he means that this person isn't thinking things over clearly, and is jumping to conclusions before the verdict is presented. The rest of the song sounds like living in regret from someone elses mistake. And because of that mistake, he is taking it upon him or herself. Either by falling into depression, or commiting suicide. And all this person ever wanted was for things to be normal, or for things to go his way, and since they didn't, he's not going to follow through, he's going to give up.
Hints the words, "I wasn't asking for the world. And you know that I'm not one to follow through."
