My interpretation is that the person singing had the perfect relationship, that he had found his soulmate and was completely in love. This person though, possibly through his own greed or paranoia(Afraid of monsters), had caused himself and his loved one to grow apart. He had been so in love that he would steer the vessel of his loved one through the afterlife, but had lost everything because of his own doing.
The song hints to both the lyrist and the loved one simply ending they're relationship(The lover moved on and the lyrist left in shambles.), aswell as the lover dying, and the singer not being there for her when she died(Explains not being able to steer the vessel, not guiding, and using passed tense in the word "Wanted.")
I'm wish there were more Wintersleep fans out here! I would like to hear what they think!
This is such a beautiful song...
