It's a story, kind of.

"I set fire to her heart so I could find her in the dark But the sad part is she believed me"

'Lit a flame' for her, so he'd have someone to be with.. Lead a girl on, basically, he used her. Unfortunately, she didn't realize it.

Next part of the story, she gave him her house keys. A sense of trust. Through a note he learns, apparently, that not only is he given the right to live and be with her, but that he's knocked her up in the process.

She learns what he's been doing. An argument ensues, karmic payback, 'the past sprayed out like mace'. Fortunately, there was so much more to it than that. He's out of her life now, and she won't even care to listen to him outright anymore.

She's always been a doormat and non-confrontational, it seems -- she was always letting him get away with everything -- but in the end, he took her for granted. He let -her- get away.
