The song is about someone who has never loved and never been in a relationship. He feels the soil falling over his head because he might as well be dead with a loveless existence stretching out before him, and appeals to his mother as the only female figure of importance in his life. The "sad veiled bride" section refers to his jealousy of others ("loud loutish lovers" even), whom he presumably feels he is emotionally superior to and more deserving than, however it is these less pleasant male figures that end up with a woman. "It never really began, but in my heart, it was so real" is referring to his imagination, his hopes, his dreams, none of which have or will ever come true.
Pretty much how I see the song aswel, but of course others may see it differently as we all look at a song in relation to ourselfs. so however the song fits you, weather it be a break up etc is what it is ment to be. I don't think Morrissey is trying to tell a particular story in this song, just putting his emotions and feelings into words that we all see to hold very close to us.

I see the same way . When he mentioned "IF you are so funny/clever/entertainet/good-looking then why are you on your own tonight?" IS A MONOLOGUE but of course at the same is ambiguous and people interpret like saying to other person .

How could you interpret this as a monologue? The object of his desire is speaking to him:

And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know...
