You tie a knot between you and the other person you are close to - meaning, you're together (in any way - love or friendship). If things go sour between you and that person, the knot actually becomes the noose (as in, killing you).
That's what this song's about - a person you were once close is now against you.
I think end of the song sums it all:
The knot became the noose
