It seems pretty obvious that this is about a man she is seeing. It seems like this is a married man, and the following lines in particular indicate that:
<i>His devotion lies in someone else's arms
And I am just an outsider
Trying to save face
Wanting to be all he wants
Knowing that's not how it goes</i>
She seems to know that this is an unhealthy relationship, but is unwilling to break it off. The second line below seems to indicate this point.
<i>And I'm stronger than this. I've been through this before.
But what's one more lesson when the stolen moments are worth living for?</i>

Tragic and beautiful song.
