I'm thinking that the song is being sung from "the other woman's" perspective. She feels stupid/silly for falling for a guy that was taken, when she so clearly understood that "affairs never win." That's why he comes in during the chorus to say he didn't want to say goodbye - maybe he has a wife? kids? or just simply can't get out of a relationship because too many eyes are on him. She is his "dirty secret" from the second stanza. At first, I was in denial of her being the one he's cheating with, but it's still sad, I suppose. Who knows why he cheated or why he can't just be with this girl.
