their relationship will die one way or another. They have more hardships than good times, no nice moments can make up for the turmoil.
"I’m either gone in an instant
Or here til the bitter end
I never know"
He can either choose to leave her, or try fixing their relationship and die trying. He isn't sure which way to go.
"What I’ve got will make you feel more alive
I’ll be your favourite drug I will get you high"
This refers to sleeping with each other again, they can't really have a healthy relationship per se, but maybe they can stay friends with benefits. They are each others 'favorite drug' after all, but drugs are also dangerous, deadly even.
That's what I've got^^
I love FOB, their lyrics are so complex and there are so many ways to interpret them!
I hope my try to make sense of the lyrics was understandable; English is not my mother tongue, thus I was probably just ranting... <3">

I think this song is about a dysfunctional relationship.
"I wanna see your animal side
Let it all out
I wanna see the dirt
Under your skin"
The dirt under her skin is all the shit she has done, all the mistakes she's made, and her animal side is her wild albeit agressive side.
I believe they both get in fights with each other often.
"I need your broken promises
I want the guts and glory baby yeah, baby yeah"
He knows she's no good for him, but he still wants it all, the bad and the good things.
"This town is wasted and alone
But we are alive
Here in death valley
But don’t take love off the table yet"
The town / Death Valley is a metaphor for the point of no return in their relationship. Still, they are 'alive', meaning that they know their relationship can't work out, but they are still trying.
"We love a lot
So we only lose a little"
They love a lot; but not each other, they sleep with other people, one betrays the other. But they can't really call the other out on that, because both are unfaithful.
"Oh there you go, undress to impress
You can wear the crown but you’re no princess, yeah yeah yeah"
She tries to make everything up to him by sleeping with him. I believe he is wealthy or something, a status symbol for her, thus she wears the crown by being his lover. But it's all fake, her feelings aren't real, not really ; she's no princess.
"We’re gonna die
It’s just a matter of time
Hard times come
Good times go"
Dying is a metaphor for breaking up -> their relationship will die one way or another. They have more hardships than good times, no nice moments can make up for the turmoil.
"I’m either gone in an instant
Or here til the bitter end
I never know"
He can either choose to leave her, or try fixing their relationship and die trying. He isn't sure which way to go.
