The Heath Ledger part makes sense, but I think this is totally a song about him remembering what happened with Kate. How she died of overdose. Maybe he recently went back to drugs hxc and he started thinking about the past.
"Past midnight, breathing in the dark.
Same strange friend comes to visit
Never intend to open the door."
Old drug dealers stop by. Bert never intended on going back, but addiction is hard to break.
"You take it to places that no one's ever been
You let it, you let it. Your insides caving in.
You pushed and pulled, still wanting some more."
Talking about overdose, or taking way too many drugs at once, and remembering the intoxicating high it gave him.
"This time I've gone all the way without you.
There's nothing more i can say."
Since Kate is dead (died of overdose with his baby) he's saying, "this time, I went all the way without you." He took so many drugs. And this time, he did it alone, instead of with her.
"So maybe I took a little too much.
Maybe life didn't want this part of me.
It it helps to know, I never let you go.
Sure, I lost my mind.
But I never really meant to die."
Maybe he's talking about how losing her changed his life forever ("Sure, I lost my mind. But I never really meant to die.") and so he's using the word "Die" as a more internal state rather than external. He even says, "if it helps to know, I never let you go" which is mainly why I think this is a reference to Kate's death. He's saying that even though she's gone, he still misses her/never let go/isn't over the scar it left on him.
The rest of the song is basically just about drug abuse along with the chorus. I can definitely see how he threw correlations to Heath Ledger's death in there, but I really think this is partly about Kate.
I hte how everyone relates most of his songs backto her.
strange friend comes to visit. never meant to open the door. death, it's an accidental death.
I can see how the last part kind of could hint to her

bur Bert said it's partly about Heath. and how the guitarist of the used realized how life could end so suddenly with an accidental death an decide to lay off the hxc lifestyle he was having. after he realized what happened to Heath.
