I have to say, I always saw this song as being about someone coming out and dealing with prejudice. "I'm not whole" seems to me to be about, as 05music said, unrequitted feelings, but in my opinion it's suppressed homosexuality.
"You know what I am
So you know how I live
Try to look proud
But you�re not in the slightest
Its happening now
And it's always been like this"
Once I had the idea, hearing that verse made me more sure.
"She knows what I am but,
She won't believe me,
Is it all ok?"
It's always been like this; despite superficial changes, the homophobic rejection attitude has not disappeared.
Being a fag hag, I immediately took the lyrics to mean something similar. A man coming out who is in love with a female and it's reciprocated, but he is still toiling with his sexuality.

i agree completely with kevindevineluvah, even though it means that too you, so disrespect, but i was thinking what kevindevineluvah before i even got to read into the lyrics.

(In my amateur opinion)
I can see that as a very valid interpretation, but to me it's more about the musician/artist lifestyle.
