In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
He can't explain his everything to break his fall
The one who hit his big, fat lip
His glasses fall
She's come out right
She's in his sight
On knees he'll crawl
He lost the fight
Home for the night
Sick of it all
Stop killing me
You've led me on
And I can't take it, take it
Stop giving me your head and all that you drag with it, with it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
She no longer stares and no longer cares about anything
But she can't frown though
There's so little left for him
The last to know
She can't explain her everything to break his fall
Stop killing me
You've led me on
And I can't take it, take it
Stop giving me your head and all that you drag with it, with it
With it, with it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Stop killing me
You've led me on
You're killing me
Stop killing me
You've led me on
And I can't take it, take it
Stop giving me your head and all that you drag with it, with it
Stop killing me
You've led me on
And I can't take it, take it
Stop giving me your head and all that you drag with it, with it
With it, with it, with it, with it, hey
The one who hit his big, fat lip
His glasses fall
She's come out right
She's in his sight
On knees he'll crawl
He lost the fight
Home for the night
Sick of it all
Stop killing me
You've led me on
And I can't take it, take it
Stop giving me your head and all that you drag with it, with it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
She no longer stares and no longer cares about anything
But she can't frown though
There's so little left for him
The last to know
She can't explain her everything to break his fall
Stop killing me
You've led me on
And I can't take it, take it
Stop giving me your head and all that you drag with it, with it
With it, with it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Stop killing me
You've led me on
You're killing me
Stop killing me
You've led me on
And I can't take it, take it
Stop giving me your head and all that you drag with it, with it
Stop killing me
You've led me on
And I can't take it, take it
Stop giving me your head and all that you drag with it, with it
With it, with it, with it, with it, hey

@Kahiara 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 ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) 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.
