I'm gonna say this song isn't about death or anything drug-related..
I am currently coming out of a relationship where my girl and I split up once already, and this is the 2nd time we're breaking up. I can tell you from experience that this time around is definitely "twice as hard". Actually, its harder, but "25,000 times as hard" isn't quite as singable =)
Maybe Chris isn't doing the breaking up, maybe he's being broken up with:
Clean as a whistle (a clean break)
Smellin' like a rose (as in she "comes out smelling like a rose")
She got no dirty little fingers (her hands are clean)
Bloodshot eyes are gone (she's not crying this time)

Just my humble opinion..
