He certainly did earn that reputation.
Her ghost is there
I can see the outline of her shadow traced in the air
Sometimes I see her bended over your shoulder
I think what lies has she told you
And I see a smile light up your face
You like what she says
And I want to cry, it's killin' me
But I play dumb instead
(*) She's the uninvited guest who lives in our house
She's the other woman who's on your mind
Who's in your life
I'd have to be blind not to see it, not to feel it
And I'm runnin' second best
To the uninvited guest and it's breaking my heart
You don't know how I know
If it all was in the open, you'd deny that it its so
Just like the old song "Torn Between Two Lovers"
It's not happening to others
It's happening to you and me and the pain is intense
I should leave you but I love you though
It doesn't make sense
Repeat (*)
I should leave you but I love you though
It doesn't make sense
Repeat (*)
It's breaking my heart
I can see the outline of her shadow traced in the air
Sometimes I see her bended over your shoulder
I think what lies has she told you
And I see a smile light up your face
You like what she says
And I want to cry, it's killin' me
But I play dumb instead
(*) She's the uninvited guest who lives in our house
She's the other woman who's on your mind
Who's in your life
I'd have to be blind not to see it, not to feel it
And I'm runnin' second best
To the uninvited guest and it's breaking my heart
You don't know how I know
If it all was in the open, you'd deny that it its so
Just like the old song "Torn Between Two Lovers"
It's not happening to others
It's happening to you and me and the pain is intense
I should leave you but I love you though
It doesn't make sense
Repeat (*)
I should leave you but I love you though
It doesn't make sense
Repeat (*)
It's breaking my heart

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
