I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
you make laws so that
resistance wont be tolerated
but your murder is
systematically perpetuated
the lies that you tell us
have enslaved us all for years
to me your laws mean nothing
now learn what is to live in fear
you must burn in the
fires of hell
that youve created
your fate has been chosen
if you will not see the violent truth
you will see no peace
you will see no peace
confront the truth
your violent truth
now the table turns
our time is now
resistance wont be tolerated
but your murder is
systematically perpetuated
the lies that you tell us
have enslaved us all for years
to me your laws mean nothing
now learn what is to live in fear
you must burn in the
fires of hell
that youve created
your fate has been chosen
if you will not see the violent truth
you will see no peace
you will see no peace
confront the truth
your violent truth
now the table turns
our time is now

@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away,
"She sang for you last night
She heard you were calling"
Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed.
"Don't be scared now
Close your eyes
She holds guard tonight
Go on forward no remorse
Life will take it's course"
This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral.
"She danced with you last night so you will remember
All you have shared, a lifetime."
This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
