I think the war that Blake is fighting are his drug addictions, depression etc.
The first verse to me describes them waiting for the delivery of 'blow' (cocaine), and Amy will be there with Blake, at his side, while he is suffering through his addictions. At that time, Amy wasn't into hard drugs, therefore she is 'drunk', but not only on pride.
The second verse is where it gets creepy. To me it sounds as though they had a suicide pact. It was revealed during Blake's trial that he had attempted suicide on 5 previous occasions (this was officially stated in court, not just leaked to a tabloid by a 'source'). It seems as though amy pledged in writing to also commit suicide if blake does. This explains the lines 'reciting, my stomach standing still, like you reading my will', and 'I would have died too, I'd have liked to'.
It's clear to see from photographs that Blake has a history of self-harm, this explains the line 'he still stands, in spite of what his scars say'. The B in the final verse simply stands for Blake.
Definitely her darkest song, especially when heard as the original, 'down-tempo' version. She has stated in an interview that when her record company first heard this version, they told her it sounded like death, and that it had to be speeded up.
