The way I take:
A relationship (a house built on sacred ground) perhaps a marriage, but his partner slept with someone else. Which led to severe tension (cold sweats and couches), perhaps leaving each other at this point.
The chorus I take as being desperate for anyone to help. To listen to your story, and get you through it. Going through a break up can be the loneliest time of your life.
Next verse is about the delicacy you feel after a relationship ends. You're desperate for someone to fill the void of emptiness left from the last relationship.

Idk just my thoughts, how it makes me feel.
