It's simple: The drugs don't work. He felt lost in life, and he needed something - anything to help him cope. He found escape in drugs, became addicted, and realized (too late) that the drugs didn't work, they simply made it worse. Hint "The Drugs don't work, they only make you worse." Toward the end of the song, he's fighting his addiction and the love he feels for his better half. He can't let go of the drugs, and he can't let go of her. If he had to choose, he'd rather be dead.

"Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too. Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead."
