I love this song.

I personally think this is about the man's biggest conundrum. Choosing between finding a beautiful amazing woman and settling down, or burying yourself deeply into drug addiction and other things that we know are bad, but make us feel a distorted sense of satisfaction.

The first verse is about his experience with love and having a loved one in his life

The second verse is the opposite and how he feels when he doesn't have that love in his life

Holding a gun to my head So send me an angel Or bury me deeply instead With demons to lean on

He's not happy with his life so he thinks maybe there is someone ( an angel ) who can make him feel better. Or he can bury himself deeply with bad things that make him feel better.

the next verse is again about not having a loved one in his life and feeling somewhat worthless

the numb part is just saying that he knows he has feeling and that he can feel love and he's not just some mindless drone or something

Just my interpretation. I really like the song.
