Sounds like the narrator is having an affair with a married man in my opinion.
I came and saw you left the light on
There was no one home at all
(His wife or family is out of the house.)
Couldn't wait to get your clothes on
Shouldn't come around to call on you
(He's quick to kick her out of the house before his wife gets home, and she can't ask him for anything.)
The taste was sweet and you delivered
I didn't know I would feel so high
(Sort of obvious...)
Well, I guess we didn't have to kill her
But don't feel so bad though
(I think killing her is symbolic for destroying the wife's life, and the lack of guilt she has for it.)
You looked her in the eye
And I watched her cry
And my mouth went dry
(I think that this is referring to a confrontation between the wife and husband about the affair that she witnessed.)
Everyone is going to have to die - sometime
(Everyone is going to lose their innocence, and its the wife's time.)
I'm not heaven sent
I'm not heaven sent
But I'm broken and bent
(Makes me think she wants a normal, loving, pure relationship but she's got herself caught up in this destructive affair and she feels damaged.)
That's just what I thought of when I first listened to the lyrics.
In general it seems like the narrator is finally feeling the guilt and the immensity of what she's done. Possibly from seeing the wife cry.

I kind of agree with this. The first time I read the lyrics, I felt she was talking about having affairs with a man with a girlfriend or a wife.
