seen a lot of debate on the net about song meaning, well 4 me, i think it obviously means he can't believe she wud commit suicide "looking as she were", obviously very pretty, happy and well on the surface which is quite oft case with folk with mh issues; yet struggle much under the skin, thus i feel this song basically explores that notion/ perhaps with someone close whom passed away by suicide despite "looking as they were"...well and happy on the surface at the time, if that makes sense!
