It comes across to me as a song about a person who realizes that they are abusive to their son/duaghter/wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend etc. The first verse starts out where the rage is building because of something the other person said.
The second verse seems to say that it isn't the first time he has resorted to the act of violence.
On the third verse, he realized he went too far and the person he loves either got fed up with it and left or died.
And in the last verse, he affirms that there was no point in his reacting that way.
