Before reading all the rest of the comments, I always thought this whole song was a story about Kylie, narrated by the man that "her heart belongs to". Kylie married this guy, had kids with him, but she didn't really love him. She loves another man whom she had an affair (maybe multiple, because it seems like she really loves him) with when the children were small. She would've been with this man if she hadn't had children with another. She had been keeping her feelings a secret for 30 years, and finally she was sick of keeping it inside. She started going through love letters he wrote her, looking at pictures of them together...And finally she called the man she really loves, just because she missed him. But it was really "nothing at all" because she knows she can't be with him; there was no point in calling anyway. The man didn't answer the call, instead he received a note from his assistant, telling that someone called. He knew the number, he knew it was kylie, but he never called back (maybe he knew they couldn't be together, or he didn't love her anymore, idk). So Kylie is now forever stuck missing him and wishing she could be with him, or even know what had happened to him. All she can do is close her eyes and imagine how her life would be with if she was with that man she really loved...
Sad really, this song makes me cry. Ben did a great job with this, it's one of my all time favorites.
