The way I understood it, the singer is in a sexual relationship with his girlfriend, going against what he believes to be right.
The first verse,
Can you lie next to her
And give her your heart, your heart
As well as your body
And can you lie next to her
And confess your love, your love
As well as your folly
And can you kneel before the king
And say I'm clean, I'm clean
is the singer singing to himself. He's wondering if he can lie next to this girl and give her his heart and his body, really loving her for more than just the sex, and still say before his king that he's clean.
And then he's asking the girl (and the king) where his fault was, in having sex with her and loving her with all his heart:
But tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart
Oh tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart
But the girl never really loved him the way he loved her - she fooled him into a relationship for the attention, but not for the love - he threw his whole heart and his body into it, but she didn't:
A white blank page and a swelling rage, rage
You did not think when you sent me to the brink, the brink
You desired my attention but denied my affections, my affections
Then here he is disillusioned and seeking real love, true love, possibly from the king instead of a person:
Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life
Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life
My mind goes here....The guy is a loyal type person and has been with every aspect of the relationship. She was cheating... and he learned of this
She denied his affection b/c she was emotionally and physically involved with another.
Although she withdrew with her affection or sex, he still remained loyal to her.
Now that he knows about the other man....he is pissed and hurt and struggles with the outcome when he has no guilt or fault in the matter. (what did i do wrong)
He is asking the other man... can you love her like I did/do. Can you be...

The other man is getting the part of her that he had earned with his complete love to her.
He is then speaking in general about lead me to the truth ....His search for a companion that shares his loyality
