This song is about being scorned and laughed at by others for issues you're struggling to control and covering up the pain by acting happy as if it doesn't bother you ("and it hurts so bad I have to smile").
In the first verse, the problem is some form of substance abuse and in the second, the problem is being overweight.
I like how the happy melody is in stark contrast to the song's content - a fitting ending to a great album.
