I always thought this song was about the music business, but then it struck a chord with me after a party with an ex. We were on good terms, and possibly headed back to being together, but the situation was such that he could flirt with others guilt free, and I couldn't. To me, it describes a situation that everyone is in favor of, but you knew it wasn't right despite popular opinion, and when push comes to shove in the aftermath, it STILL wasn't right.
