To me, this song is the perfect anthem for anyone whose significant other has left them for someone else. At least that's what it means to me.
"These cucumber eyes are lying the more that I smile about it."
Perhaps she remained close to him even after the relationship ended, and she chooses to grin and bear it because she'd rather have him as a friend than not have him in her life at all, even if he hurt her. So she chooses to smile, even though she's lying to herself. I agree with Quailman, "I'm happy you're in love" would really mean... "I'm not happy at all."
and "How's it happening that he feels it without me?"
She can't understand how he could ever love someone else after he's loved her. She feels like she can't go on without him, so why should he be able to go on without her?
The song sounds so uplifting, but it's really quite upsetting.
