Well, he shouted out his last word
and he stumbled through the yard
and she shattered her last china plate
and spun off in the car
When he lunged onto the hood
she stopped to tell him she'd been wrong
He was thrown head over heels
into the traffic coming on
But then
All is fair
all is fair in love
Did you get my other letters
sometimes I think I oughta call
cause you know I often
wonder if you open them at all
Every couple nights or so
you know you pop into my dreams
I just can't get rid of you
like you got rid of me
Ohh but I send my best
Cause God knows you've seen
my worst
Yeah well
All is fair
all is fair in love
All this breathing in never
breathing out
All this breathing in never
breathing out
All this breathing in never
breathing out
All this breathing in never
breathing out
Well I guess she made her way
through the mob too late to
hear him say
That he'd gotten all he wanted
a crowd to watch him bear the pain
he'd been keeping in
(So what) So what
But then
All is fair
all is fair in love
Am I right?
Am I right?
Not only am I right
I'm lonely and I'm right
Yeah
and he stumbled through the yard
and she shattered her last china plate
and spun off in the car
When he lunged onto the hood
she stopped to tell him she'd been wrong
He was thrown head over heels
into the traffic coming on
But then
All is fair
all is fair in love
Did you get my other letters
sometimes I think I oughta call
cause you know I often
wonder if you open them at all
Every couple nights or so
you know you pop into my dreams
I just can't get rid of you
like you got rid of me
Ohh but I send my best
Cause God knows you've seen
my worst
Yeah well
All is fair
all is fair in love
All this breathing in never
breathing out
All this breathing in never
breathing out
All this breathing in never
breathing out
All this breathing in never
breathing out
Well I guess she made her way
through the mob too late to
hear him say
That he'd gotten all he wanted

(So what) So what
But then
All is fair
all is fair in love
Am I right?
Am I right?
Not only am I right
I'm lonely and I'm right
Yeah

"I guess she made her way through the mob too late to hear him say
That he'd gotten all he'd wanted A crowd to watch him bear the pain"
I'd interpreted this as suicide.
"All is fair in love" is saying that he's getting his own back, even if it is in a terrible way.
