This song is about his battles with cocaine abuse. He said in interviews that every time he woke up after a night of falling off the wagon and doing cocaine, he felt like like he had died. "Please make me smile if you learn from my trial - Baby I'll pay the price maybe saving your life for ya" is obvious. He would feel better about himself after his bouts with addiction if the rest of us would learn from him and NOT DO COCAINE! Don't ever try it because quitting it is monumentally harder.
