This song is definitely about unrequited love. I am exactly in this position right now so this song hits close to him.
Basically, she meets this guy and falls in madly falls in love with him. Unfortunately, he doesn't feel the same way. His mind is still on his ex.
"In your brown eyes you'll watch her go
Then turn the record on and wonder what went wrong"
He watched his ex go and he listens to music wondering why they broke up.
"Got some brown eyes but I saw her face
I knew that it was wrong
So baby, turn the record on, play that song"
I take this to mean she saw his ex's face in his eyes. Figuratively, obviously. When she looks into his brown eyes, she does not see her reflection, but rather his ex's. She knows this means he doesn't want her, so she concedes and tells him to just play his music and wallow in his pain.
"Everything was everything but baby, it's the last show
Everything could be everything but it's time to say goodbye, so
Get your last fix and your last hit
Grab your old girl with her new tricks
Honey yeah, it's no surprise that I got lost in your brown eyes"
It's hard for her because of her love, but she knows she has to leave him. This love isn't a two-way street. She's telling him to get all he can get from her before she goes. Then she says to go back with his ex with her "new tricks." I take this to mean his ex was manipulative and would play tricks on him. Gaga says she'll just trick him again into a bad relationship. She knows she is right for him, but unfortunately he doesn't.
