It seems so cut and dry that this song is about someone haunting another from beyond the grave, but I take it a different way. This song speaks to me metaphorically where a lover just ripped out this guy's heart, basically stealing any sense of humanity from him. He feels completely betrayed after pouring every bit of himself into this relationship, and she's left him for dead.
She keeps teasing that there could be something in the future, or wants to be friends, but he has nothing left to give emotionally, leaving him dead inside ("you keep coming back to the scene of the crime, but the dead can't speak and there's nothing left to say anyway".)
My interpretation comes from the recent ending of a recent relationship where the lyrics of this song just grabbed me and were nearly a literal translation of how I felt afterward.
Alas i agree with you on this. I see how it can be about murder. But it speaks to me about the end of a relationship. Couldnt have summed it up any better.

I feel the same way about the relationship. I too have had a recent relationship that came to an end not to long ago.
