I created an account specifically to make this point about this song: I can't tell you exactly what Sarah meant, as I'm not her, but I can tell you that she's definitely implying that the obsessed person (whose point of view the song is from, and assuming it's a guy) intends to murder the object of his affections (assumed to be Sarah herself).
For example, the line, "hold you down, kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away" is clever in that it sounds like love, but in fact is deadly affection, and implies that perhaps the he will drown Sarah in the song. The "kiss you so hard" is not a literal kiss, but more of an "expression of love" that got out of hand.
"And after, I'd wipe away the tears" of having killed her. "Just close your eyes dear" referring to when someone lies dead, people shut their eyes.
It explores the, "If I can't have her, nobody can," mentality that can arise through absolute obsession.
