This could be about Nico, or any number of people he knew who'd had rough lives but didn’t go around crying about it. He’s clearly a great admirer of people like that. He certainly never hid his pain, he made a living writing about it - which is kind of a luxury, in a way. Women are expected to put on a happy face all the time. This song is probably about a woman.
