Maybe if you guys looked into the album as a whole you would get it right.
He sets his own house on fire with his wife and daughter in it, but he goes to save them (A Great Fire), looking like a hero. People are coming on to him (which explains the song title "A Hero Loses Every Day") so he has to leave town and ends up killing himself at a motel. (Hey! When tomorrow brings the morning sun again/I'll be long gone/Dead! Lying all alone on this motel room floor/I know I'm dying)
