This is a really deep song and hits close to home for me.
I think "killing for love" means when you kill who you really are to be with someone you love.
You adapt to what the person wants you to be. You "drink the water" even if you don't want to, you "take a pill" for the emotional pain the situation is causing you, you wait for the person to change and accept you. You say things ("I can't remember if I liked what I said") they want to hear, you behave like a fool, you drink and take drugs if you have to, and even if it's hurting, you put a pillow on the top of your head to forget the world and the suffering. You do whatever it takes only to be accepted by them.
You kill your real self for their love. To get their love.
