I think that this song's all about how he loved this women, but he 'fled the scene, now you can't wash your hands of me,' he can't forget what he did now and his memory of her is just won't leave him and he's regretting it. 'look at the ghost you've made of me' He keeps trying to push it away but it's turned into a 'ghost' and it's haunting him.
'the mirror crashed on the dresser, and she began to scream, 'Bloody murderer! Let me rest in peace!'
