Deep, irrepresible guilt and the desire to expiate a fault.
"Every time I see you
I've got the urge to cry
I'm holding back the tears
'Cause I know the reason why"
She now that he commit a terrible act and think that she must pay but the punishement don't come.
The videoclip suggest someone incapacitated or in coma that she come to visite relentlessly.
The tape with a sort of cardiogram record, a hand on a chair with a tube...
She look at his eyes and expect a reaction but nothing come and their guilt are worst that any imaginable pain.
Like used to say "No worse hell that the one prepared by ourself".
What is the fault ?
A accident that she survived ?
An argument that turn terrible wrong ?
A suicide after a separation ?
At the end the fire consume all and she look at the scene.
At the background we hear a sound like a lifesupport alert and the "cardiogram" become flat.
Have she decided to put her lover out of his misery ?
Maybe.
She remain with his own hell of unpaid guilt...
Moving song and hard theme.

For me the song is about guilt.
Deep, irrepresible guilt and the desire to expiate a fault.
