My take on this song is similar, but a little bit different.
The narrator misses her ex (husband? boyfriend?) but he obviously was the one to screw up. They had everything. They loved each other. He ruined it not only by being unfaithful - but that unfaithfulness let to an unplanned pregnancy. He can never come home. It will never be the same. She taunts in the beginning that she can "sleep what side" she wants, but she has no one to hold due to her indescretions. SHE suffers the most by his indiscretions.
There could be some play on words here. Her "watching him sleep at night" could be construed as her being a little over-bearing - maybe explaining why he had his tryst in the first place.
The next part, near the end (the bridge - so to speak) I believe is present tense:
" I hear your key turning in the door,
I won't be hearing that sound anymore
And you and your sin can leave the way you just came in,
Send my regards to her
I hope you've found that
All you want, is right there in that room, all you want
All you need is sitting there with you, all you want"
He has come back to see her and he brings "his sin" - his child. I don't believe he's in a relationship with the woman he slept with - but is doing the right thing by being a father to the child. He tries to make amends with the narrator and brings the child. This re-stings the narrator (this part is more of a crescendo) and she tells him to leave and not come back. "All you want is right there in that room, is sitting there with you, all you want". She tells him he left her long ago, for what he created that one night. No going back. She won't hear him turn the key in the door anymore.
This last part explains further why the phrase "all you want is here in this room" - he's back to try to be with her. But she reminds him - no, all you want is there in that room - where the child is.
I'd be P.O.'d too!
