Wow I can't believe I'm the first to comment! This song is amazing! So when I first heard the song I thought it was about a close friend that maybe has similar issues. Example: Diagnosed bipolar/bpd and my best friend is also bipolar. She is the first person in my life that has even come close to understanding.

When I listened to the song again I heard Justin say "drugs" after he sings "voice of a friend"

So my second thought is that the song may be about having a friend who has/is helping through a mental/drug problem.. or maybe going through it with you.

While the drug is something that keeps your relationship strong.. it is also tearing it apart. :/

Song Meaning

Also could mean the "voice of a friend" that he is talking about.. is the drug/s?
