Content
This song could be sung from the perspective of a rockstar or low end celebrity with a terminal illness (Maybe the late stages of lung-cancer) singing in a bar on their last day alive. The "you" he refers to could be a romantic interest or someone who has passed away previously.
Another possible interpretation of the song is that it is about divorce, apparent from various lines that imply breakup and a sense of abandonment, and especially from the verse: "I won't sign a thing, or else if I do I'll use a pencil so I can show you How nothing lasts, how nothing is free Nobody loves you like me."
