The first few times I heard this, I just wrote it off as a song about cheating. But upon listening to the lyrics a bit more closely, I feel like this guy's girl left him, and even though she's gone, he feels like he's cheating if he is even remotely attracted to someone else. Sort of a wistful feel to it, obviously.
I agree. She's gone and he can't move on - yet. He alludes to knowing he will move on, eventually. He feels unfaithful when he's with another woman. For me, speaking to himself in the mirror is a powerful metaphor and I've used it myself.
