Though I understand this to be about an affair, obviously, when I was younger a dear friend of mine whom I knew was gay ended up marrying a woman and becoming a youth minister. He never spoke to me again, only on rare occasions and I believe it was due to his being ashamed knowing what I knew and how far from the truth it was. I did see a picture of his beautiful daughter and can only hope that he is genuinely happy without any regrets and that he isn't brain washed by the church to "stave off his inner demons." Anywho, just a different perspective on a song that is now quite frank in content. Sometimes it is a sparse few words of a song that can be excetpionally meaningful and the part about every tongue is wagging really hits home.
