My, oh, my My alibi Restore my faith in these Words so clear My failure dear Lies tucked away in me

U guys are forgetting this part. The song is definitely about cheating, but also, there's the brilliant chorus. Theyre calling the cheater an alibi, like an excuse. And after she realizes hes an excuse, the failure of their relationship is on her because he probably wasnt worth her time anyway. Unfortunately, the failure is tucked away, meaning she probably has a weakness for crappy guys or making excuses. and the situation of catching the guy cheating has restored her faith in "these words", aka writing and making music. I think that def means it was such an experience that it inspired her to write and create. Just my opinion

That could be it, but I always though of the chorus in a different way.

My of my My alibi Restore my faith in these (Words so clear)

I thought she was talking about how murderer's alibis never hold up (and in each different verse it sounds like she's plotting a different way to kill him) but she's hoping that maybe she can come up with a good alibi that could save her.

My failure dear Lies tucked away in me

Here she's blaming herself for the "failure" of their relationship, possibly in a sarcastic way, like she couldn't live...
