I can speak from exact experience of what this song means (imo); i know what its like to suddenly find yourself doing things you never thought you would do ("Who I am is not who I want to be", "When did I become such a hypocrite") cheated on my bf right after we agreed we were exclusive. he wasn't the love of my life though, that's the only "flaw" in the song for me... i don't think i would have cheated or continued to cheat and have feelings for someone else if i loved him as I should have. however it does make one see how great a thing they had with the person that they regretfully hurt, and you can never truly get that innocence in the relationship back after someone cheats, even if you try to stay together. this song I can relate to because many nights while we were out dancing, or even when i was just with friends dancing, i wanted to have fun and enjoy the moment, but there were tears in my eyes that i had to hold back and fight the reality of what was going on inside of me as i knew everything was falling apart around me, but no one else could see it but me, and at one point i knew it could be the last time we ever danced. this song to me is about screwing up, but trying to go on as if you're still okay, trying to pretend like everything is as it was, and really you just gotta hold back the tears and keep to yourself the regret you feel. and that's why i'm confessing this here, where no one will likely ever know it was me. this song is a lonely song - in the midst of everyone i dance and no one understands what's going on beneath the surface, it's powerful lyrical imagery.
I don't think she cheated, I think she is saying that her lifestyle got in the way of their relationship. I think she went out partying and got drunk too much ("on the floor I'm just a zombie"- passing out from too much alcohol). But it is a very sad and depressing song.
