Habits (Stay High) Lyrics

Song is pretty self-explanatory. From the tone of the song, I feel like it's more about the death of a loved one than simply trying to pick up pieces after a break-up. Everything for her has gone down the drain, she's eating junk food and throwing it up, spending all her money on alcohol, throwing her body around to various guys just to pass the time.

Her sole purpose in life is to forget someone she misses. She says "can't go home alone again", it might mean who she misses was a significant other, or maybe she just can't stand sleeping alone anymore, and needs to take any stranger with her every night.

My Interpretation
