It's about drugs. The second verse is all about getting her high with him on dope. Take a shot of this, I'm on that shit you can't smell -- dancing with the devil, take you DOWN. All are in reference to heroin. This song is just simply a description of the insecurity and pain you feel while addicted to a hard drug, especially one like heroin or Oxycontin. This isn't about loving another person, so much as loving yourself --- judging from what I know of addicts, he can't love the girl 'cause he's messed up all the time. You can't love anyone when you love drugs, thus throwing himself into a one night stand to make him feel good about yourself, because the only relationship that's a safe relationship is one that doesn't last when you're getting high. Everyone who actually cares about you will call you on your addiction, thus making you feel like crap about yourself.
