This song is about a man and a woman, obviously.
“She left her man and attended to me.” - The woman leaves her man to attend to the man singing the song.
“My lack of loyalty, it swallowed her up.” - And yet, he wasn’t loyal to her so she left him.
“She cooked me food.” and “Don’t claim you love me, because you know that ain’t true.” – He doesn’t believe that she really loves him. He thinks she is there merely to save him, help him, use him as a project. He doesn’t trust her love.
“You’re finally free to twist and turn like a skeleton key.” – Now she’s gone and free.
“You’ve gotta let me know.” – He needed to know how she felt about him, truthfully. He could never be sure if it was love or if she was with him for alternative purposes.
“I breed my misery and drowned it in her.” – He was a depressed person and took out his feelings and anxiety on her.
“It’s clear to see you’re nothing special. You’re a skeleton key.” – He’s saying that her “love” for him wasn’t special because she’s a “skeleton key”, which is known to be something that can unlock all doors. This is a metaphor to the woman solving any man’s problems or opening any man’s doors. This is an ironic statement, because a skeleton key is something special because of its purpose and its rarity. He’s feeling as though her love for him is a love she could have for any man (she can unlock any man’s heart), but he wants to know that it is just him. Ultimately, he knows that he was and is wrong. He is aware that their love was rare and special, but he’s trying to wash away this knowledge with whiskey.

I did a sick sick thing to my love
My lack of loyalty it swallowed her up
And she cooked me food
She squirmed and turned
Like a skeleton key
She'd left her man unattended to me

And don't call me that
And don't claim you love me
Cause you know that its true
My entire affliction I'll attribute to you

And you're finally free
To twist and turn
Like a skelleton key
You've gotta let me know
You've gotta let me know

I did a horrible thing to that girl
I bred my misery and drowned it in her
And she got me high
And I hardly notticed there were tears in her eyes.

And I miss you less and less everyday
It's true the whisky's helped to wash you away
And it's clear to see
You're nothing special
You're a skelleton key

You've gotta let me know
You've gotta let me know
You've gotta let me know
You've gotta let me know
