This song is about a relationship that has died. The couple live their lives so apart from one another that they don't even know they're partner anymore. There's constant awkward silence. The love is gone. The only thing keeping them together is their kids. The kids need both a mother and a father and the parents also need the kids. So, they keep putting on that fake smile and living the 'perfect' life, everyday growing further apart and becoming more unhappy. Exactly why I'm not getting married. Almost everyone I know that is married is going through this. Or they're already divorced. No one wants to make the effort anymore.
