In the first verse it is a man leaving her for another woman and not a coke habbit, now what i cant decide is whether "Black" represents a state of depression or whether "Black" represents Heroin, I always thought the line "I tread a troubled track, My odds are stacked" said "I tread a troubled track, My arms are stacked" i.e. injected/stacked full of Heroin.
I think that later on when she says "I love you much, It's not enough, You love blow and I love puff" she means that they both love weed but thats not enough to keep them together.
The line "And life is like a pipe, and I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside" i am certain she means that no matter how many times a penny were to roll up the wall of a pipe it will never escape and will always fall back to where it started off!
When you watch the video it is of her burying her heart because at the end it actually says "RIP Amy Winehouse's heart" so either way she obviously felt/feels dead inside!
I see the blow/puff line differently. She says "I love you much, It;s not enough" just before that. I think what she is that she has a weed habit and he a coke habit.
It just hit me. She could be saying that she has a weed habit, which isn't good, but he has a coke habit which is much worse. She already has drug and other issues and is drowning on her own. If she is with him and he keeps up the coke use, she can't be with him because he'll take him down with her (because she is...

to piggyback on your pipe interpretation, that's her way of saying because of her own issues, she "treads a troubled track". She is the penny rolling up a wall that will fall again. Again, his issues are worse than hers, so if she stays with him, it will be bad for her. So, she loves him but can't be with him because they aren't good for each other. But if she stays and he goes to his drug use (go back to her), she will become depressed and go back to black.
this is exactly my interpretation!!! :):) really well noticed on the vid, as it could be mistaken for her lover dying, or she could be burying him, and also her heart?! x
