Having just gone through a breakup, this song hits right at home.
And I think that's exactly what this song is about. Mick fell for someone because he needed someone. Those 'corny lines' she said went to his head, and he fell for all of it. But at the same time, he knew all the while that it was only a matter of time before she would break his heart. It didn't matter though, because he needed someone to be there, even if it was only for a 'month or two'.
The end of the song is the equivalent of sitting in your room with your face in your hands crying. Hence the 'shut the light' and 'let it all come down'. But the line 'let it loose' is saying you need to let it go and move on. Get it all out....scream...cry...do whatever you need to do. But then let it loose and move forward.
That's only my interpretation. But the great thing about a song that's sort of abstract like this is that you can interpret it in so many different ways.
Totally agree with you. I also went through a break up around the time I was listening to this song and I completely related with it. I got into a relationship that was never going to make it. Retrospectively he is looking at other couples cynically (as suggested in the first line) and in heinsight can see it was doomed. I also think "corny line" refers to using them as well as hearing. "In the bar getting drunk" is obviously about feeling sorry for yourself. The line "take the shine of your shoes"...

The line "take the shine of your shoes" took me a while to interpret, but what it is to me is that at the start it was all fresh and "shiny" but after living and walking through life the shine went off and it wasn't good any more. "Let it loose" can also I think mean go wild on the rebound.
