This song seems to be a lot about a struggling relationship between two people while one of them is fighting an addiction. You can find a lot of drug references, even if unintentional: starting by giving a background of the other person's life (your little brother never tells you but he loves you so, and your mother only smiled on her TV show) maybe to give a reference as to why the person has resorted to drugs. Then stating the obvious : you're only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope.
Then it gives a hint to the "club 27" or the famous fact that many drug addict famous personalities die at 27 years old ("I hope you make it to the day you're 28 years old" meaning she hopes the person passes the mark).
Then begins the less obvious references: "you're dripping like a saturated sunrise" this could be interpreted as a trip, specifically acid for the saturated sunrise part, but maybe debatable..
I'm guessing when she says she's tearing through the pages and the ink, that she knows him/her deep down, on his/her darkest moments.
Then on to the chorus are the more obvious references, talking about pills, smoke, and being blue and having grey dreams. Depression is a big factor amongst drug users as their serotonin receptors become messed up. It's usually a tipping point or the hardest to fight after the physical addiction has settled during withdrawals.
Then what I get from the lillac sky part is that the person was was very passionate in the beginning because she was different from them. But as she became "contaminated" by the same mellow state within the drug abuse world, the other person lost interest. Drug users tend to seek very high states of mind to compare to the high the drugs give, otherwise they become "bored" and depression kicks in again.
@Jubispo oh, and "I'm still waking every morning but it's not with you" could also be a reference to how the drugs make the person seem like someone else, like they're not there, specially among pill abusers.
