reading it over, it seems like a guy is miserable in his relationship with his wife/gf/whatever and he cheats on her with another woman, and his partner kills the other woman out of jealousy. i feel pretty morbid for coming up with that conclusion, but it fits the lyrics in many of the parts.
for example:
"And it's one eye on the banquet table, The other on the door. And everyone's got reasons, But I don't have the same ones, And it's true Oh, no!"
like he's in an argument with her, and all he does is stare at the table to avoid her eyes and towards the door and imagine his life not being so miserable. and everyone has their reasons why they cheat, and he's simply unhappy.
or:
"I'm lying if I'm talking. It's what I don't tell you. You wouldn't like the truth. You wouldn't like it"
saying he's lying about everything in general, telling his partner he's satisfied, because he's not, and she would get angry if he said so.
there are some other bits too that could make sense, whatevs.
