I'm not sure what the meaning of the song but here is my opinion. It starts with a man who loves a woman (there beat a heart for you). She had a certain power over him (you controlling every move I made) and she abused that power (all the pain and you put me through it). She breaks his heart by cheating on him whether it is actually physically sleeping with someone else or just fantasizing about another or both. The lines “you told me I’m your greatest lover, do you even know what that word means” and “you lovin’ is coolin’” makes me think she took the relationship less seriously than him. I think she said the name of her other lover, whether it be in her sleep or during an intimate moment (Stop it! Don’t you say a word). Out of anger he strangles her (I feel my hands around her neck) and now he has lost her (she slipped from out my hands). The line “Say lay so still and lifeless” makes me believe he killed her.
