I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking about tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the...

This song was written for Robby's (bassist/singer) wife who had passed from heroin, black balloons are used to cut off circulation to inject the heroin, and Robby's wife died from the heroin, Robby and Johnny both wrote this song together and Johnny himself said it was about heroin.

Well actually the Black Balloon thing in Heroin is to cut off the blood for their injection. It's about someone he knew who died from drugs. And he kept trying to hold on to this person as a reason to live even as she was destroying herself.
"And I'll become, what you became to me." In the end however he realizes that motive to live is himself.
And some lyrics are missing. -
Read the song again, it is about heroin.
