I think this song is a woman who is having an affair with a man and the tragic ending is that there is no good way out of it for anybody involved. She's desperate to have him, even though she knows it's killing her ("draw me under, cut me open, take my heart, I give it to you...hold me close, I beg of you"). The title of the song explains everything, she wants to continue the affair and not have to deal with the consequences of what she and the man did.

She's willing to let him...
She's willing to let him end their relationship and "be free," if that's what he needs, even though that will break her heart that she can't have him.
She tells him to "throw the ashes out to sea" which is a metaphor for the end of their relationship. "God forbid you hurt her twice" means that he would end the relationship he was in and further hurt the woman he was with.
"In the morning pay the price" is how the man is going to have to deal with what he has done by giving in to the affair.
"Wash the sheets, clear your head, you'll be OK" means to forget about the physical and emotional aspects of their affair so he can move on. "But bury me deep down in every song you play" means she wants him to remember her, because she still loves him.
"Tragic ending saves the day" means that it was the best possible solution, even though it was a conflict with no actual good ending.
Also, he's clearly the one doing the ending:
"Take a bite upon my neck I'll give you blood If that's what you need to stay alive You'll be free And I will die"
He's taken everything and walking away with the power.
