The woman is singing about a guy she occasionally sees. They don't treat each other great. But quite frankly, that's fine with her.
"You're so uncaring
So assuming
Backstabbing
All consuming"
The reason the relationship continues is that, well, 1) she can get off on the twisted dynamic they maintain, but also because 2) neither cares enough about the other to attempt to push a boundary.
"I know you won't
'Cause you never do"
"You can filter your poison into my sleep
But I know it's my heart that you could never reach
I know you won't
Cos you do as you choose"
Grinding the knife is fine, the everyday cruelty is fine, but what would cause her to wish him dead? If he ever were to poke at the boundaries she's established.
"Don't step over my line
Don't step over my time
Don't step over my head
Cos I will wish you dead"
... Luckily she knows he won't. It's just not in him to care or question or bother. And he isn't someone trustworthy anyway.
