This song to me is about fealing like a looser all your life. Sombody that plays by the rules and never gets ahead. Perhaps you are the best but the bosses son got the promotion. But this person has high moral standards and can not take the easy way outs. No matter what he is going to feal the pain. Feal guilty if he breaks the rules or feal like crap for not getting ahead in life.
Most of all though I think it is about this person struggling in a failed relationship. He is torn because of the commitments he has. Perhaps a bad marriage, something that looked so good in the beginning but there is no love now. He knows another woman and they like each other. They know they would be happy together but religious, social, and self imposed ethics prevent him from acting on the emotions. Even if he would give up the failed marriage and go after this other woman he has thought this out....He would feal guilt and emotional pain . He hates himself, he feels week. He can not solve this dilemma....he feels the punishment but you can't commit the sin. He has little hope for a happy life.
I think people already nailed parts of this one.
