I cannot believe that you can misinterpret this song. Admittedly the lyrics here are wrong - it is not "bruise" but "booze" - this , along with references to "drinking" and "pour like the rain" (another misquote above) all very clearly indicate that this is specifically about somebody drinking themselves into oblivion. It really is that specific - very painful and very beautiful.
