This song sounds like it's about a relationship that's not really a relationship. They're in a relationship he wants to keep casual ("You'd think I'd settle down 'cause I'm older/I just roll with the change, is all") and she wants more of a commitment out of him ("You knew damn well there was nothing going on/Is that what makes you feel damn worthless"). He cares about her, but he doesn't want to commit to her for anything more than what they've got ("it's better than nothing").
He thinks he's already gotten a little too close for his own comfort ("I think I know too much about you"), but he still likes to hook up with her ("I give into the alcohol/I put my loving arms around you"; he's most affectionate when he's intoxicated.)
In the end, though, she only stays until she stops seeing any value in the relationship ("Says she's sorry now, but it's not enough"; "You think this life can get a bit unkind but she stays/Down till the worth is gone") -- he's obviously not looking to stay with her, and from the sound of it he kind of looks down on her ("a girl like that").
Woahhhh reading this makes it make quite a bit more sense! I loved the song anyway but a few lines were like "hmmm" but reading your ideas on the song have put it in a slightly different light!
