Two theories--but in reality, it almost doesn't matter which (if either) are correct...

An epiphany and a goodbye to a drug-addicted partner. He has finally accepted that she is too damaged to save and is unconcerned with his welfare--she will continue her patterns at his expense, and he can no longer tolerate this. The only way to save himself is to let her go, despite how painful that is.

Could it also be that the song is sung from the point of view of the drug itself? Think about it...a lethal drug that was once attractive and desirable has now "used up" this person and has no emotional attachment to her, announcing that she has so succumbed to its seduction that it views her with disdain and apathy now, and will move on to find a new victim. It has no need for her anymore. The game is over, and the drug won.
