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.
Do you want to see this bed in flames
Do you want to totally go under
You want to stick the dagger in
the sheets
You want to lick the dagger
that bleeds
Rammstein
You see the crosses on the pillow
You think innocence may kiss you
You believe killing might be hard
But where are all the dead coming from
Rammstein
Sex is a battle
Love is war
Do you want to see this bed in flames
Do you want to totally go under
You want to stick the dagger
in the sheets
You want to lick that dagger
which bleeds
Rammstein
Do you want to totally go under
You want to stick the dagger in
the sheets
You want to lick the dagger
that bleeds
Rammstein
You see the crosses on the pillow
You think innocence may kiss you
You believe killing might be hard
But where are all the dead coming from
Rammstein
Sex is a battle
Love is war
Do you want to see this bed in flames
Do you want to totally go under
You want to stick the dagger
in the sheets
You want to lick that dagger
which bleeds
Rammstein

@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.
