A History of Lovers Lyrics

I saw this song performed on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and it was excellent. I think this song is about the downfall of a once very passionate relationship and it fell into hard times. At the end, the man kills the one that his ex loved and he ends more lost than before. I love the way Sam Beam can write a song, he ranks up there with Dylan and Young!
