To me, this sounds like a guy talking to his ex after she left him for someone else.
"Beauty fades when she dies," Probably not dies literally, but dies emotionally for him, she leaves him, and she's not as beautiful to him as she once was.
'In a red dress and alone," This sounds like a memory he has of her, maybe the first time he saw her somewhere and first fell in love with her. Or maybe she was wearing a red dress when she left him.
"It was the best times" The times with her were the best times of his life, and he can still hang on to that even though she's gone
"You're right to love him" self-explainatory, maybe the guy has some low self-esteem
"You're right to want to close the door and lock me in, break the key and chase the blood out of my veins" also indicative of low self-esteem. When she leaves, it's like locking him in a room, and she's the only one with a key and she broke it in the lock when she left, so he's stuck there. You know... metaphorically speaking. "Chase the blood out of my veins" sounds almost suicidal, but that might just be me being morbid.
What I find interesting is the part in the middle that goes, "You were wrong/ I'm not alone/ I was right/ You were not the only one" sounding like it might have been the guy had another girl on the side... or perhaps he only Wanted the girl to think there had been another.
That's my take, as melodramatic as it may be, hopefully it made sense.
It's "veins", btw.
