It sounds either like 1) the speaker is about to lose someone he/she is close to romantically because of something the speaker has done ("don't wanna go first/don't wanna be left behind") or 2) someone the speaker is close to is about to die ("if the bell should sound my dear/have nothing to fear"). I have been listening to this song over and over again, because I feel kind of like #1....and it sucks. (This song is gorgeous, and toni is an amazing actress, too.)
