Cover art for Tears for Affairs lyrics by Camera Obscura

Yes, it seems like it's just about cheating in some way or another. I think the end is emotional. "I had to whisper, so I cried."

I think that line, which is so sad, could be a metaphor...you know, since he HAD to whisper--as in some secret being kept--she cried. I like it a lot.
