This song kind of follows up on the previous songs before it. He's saying he's always been himself, and never belonged with anyone.
"I could give you a dozen, fresh cut, pink, or red, or white. I wonder if they knew what they would grow to become."
This line reminds me of the song from this album, The Gardener, as the theme again is flowers to represent himself and her.
"She is still growing. Its like a garden with two flowers, one just blooming and casting a shadow, just like yours. Then it becomes struggle of sunlight, or rain, or weeds. She and every she is doomed to be your idea of her."
So, in this line he's saying he could've been anything for her but never changed for her and now wonders what could've been.
"You’ll have to cut it down and burn me into splinters, or I’ll unwrap the string that was me around your finger."
He's saying either she'll leave him, or he'll leave
"And I’ll hang you in your bedroom burial ground. There is a taste for blood, and it’s something deep inside."
If they don't depart, he'll keep his promise that they die together and that he'll kill her first because he doesn't trust her. And he doesn't want to die with her.
"I don’t ever want god to hear our screams and mistake them for prayers."
Another line describing about him not wanting to die with her.
"And you know I’m loaded, but not which chamber; touch me and I’ll go 'Click click click click click.' "
Another line describing that if she stays, he'll have to keep his promise.
"I’m born villain, don’t pretend to be a victim."
He's saying he's always been that way, so she shouldn't be surprised.
