I'm currently going through a divorce, my son's caught my wife cheating. We tried to work it out, but she just couldn't let go of him. For me the song has a personal meaning regardless of it's true intentions. When Eddie asks "how good is he, how warm are his eyes" it's him asking his wife/girlfriend whatever, how could you, is he really better than me? The answers he receives from her are Fatal! It's basically over, blindsided, fatally wounded by the one you loved and trusted. I know it's a stretch, but it got me through some very tough times. Thanks Eddie!
