I totally agree with both of you as far as the song's original intent. However, the lyrics are so depressing while being sung in such an upbeat manner, you can't help but to feel like the song itself is a little bit crazy. I think the other interpretations of it are also valid since the meaning is really in what the listener wants it to be and that is what makes this song so popular. Even if you take just the literal interpretation, I think we can relate to the state of near insanity we feel when you are in...

Bless you, ghostwatch, for keeping this analysis on the ground. It's a just a torch song; a guy busted up and lonely since his girl left him and trying to let on that life is good anyway.
Folks - you really have to read the lines before you go blind trying to read between 'em!

People are trying to read way to much into this song. It's just a guy who's girl/wife left him & now he's depressed but trying to hide it from his ex.
Thank you, Ghostwatch, these other explanations are at best moronic.
