The sweetest, creepiest song. About how love is something that takes time and effort to maintain until death. The narrator wants his lover's trust but at the same time he admits that he's lied.

I think the line "I find it soothing I'm afraid" supports the first interpretation. Because it seems like he feels guilty in the comfort he gets from the killings.
