To me this song always makes me smile for the first 2 verses, and makes my smile fade for the second 2. When I read the lyrics it sounds like he's trying to convince himself he doesn't need the heroin, and for the first verse he's sure of it. But then the song morphs and he's battling with the idea. The hardest part to listen to is the end when he sings "Everything will be okay" in such a sincerely hopeless tone of voice.
