I don't think this has to do with an affair at all... this song says nothing about leaving the one they're with to be with another.
I think this song is really for her parents and for anyone going through a struggle because society is putting a strain on their relationship... If you seen the music video you know that the situation was an interracial couple trying to be together, which parallels to her parents situation, and was probably an unthinkable decision considering the time period they would have gotten together.
Back then and now it's still hard for some couples to be in an interracial relationship without someone interfering, and it takes a lot of love and effort to go through it and not care what anyone thinks... it would have to be that unbearable wanting for someone, that Alicia describes, that would make a person follow through.
But this song, in general, is meant for any relationship issue... interracial, same sex, inter-religious, age difference, anything society might call out of the ordinary.
All I know is that the song is beautiful, the video is beautiful, and it makes my heart melt every time!!!
