To me this song is about someone who really wants to be in an intimate relationship, but feels as though they never will be. He feels jealous when he sees a guy with his girlfriend/wife and the just look so happy together. He watches as the girl looks at her boyfriend in admiration, completely in love with him. Then he notices how the guy looks very pround, taking for granted the fact that he has a girl that loves him so much. I don't think he is talking about a specific girl, like his ex-girlfriend, rather he is just jealous of couples in general.
I like how he opens the song by saying "I never thought I'd say these thoughts aloud." This part is just so accurate. Most people would never say that they are unable to get in a relationship because they are afraid that people will think less of them. So instead, they keep their jealous thoughts to themselves and pretend that they don't mind not being in a relationship, when really they likely have very low self esteem and are depressed because of it.
Chorus:
It hurts him whenever he sees a girl give "that look" to her lover, and he wishes that he had a girl of his own that would look at him like that. He fantasizes about being that guy for a moment, and walking in his shoes. If he only had the chance to be "that guy" instead if himself( he is likely an outcast/loser, and is incapable of getting a girlfriend due to social awkwardness or physical appearance) then he would never take her for granted, and treat her like a queen.
I could go through this entire song but I think I'm just gonna end it here. In my opinion, this song perfectly captures that depressing feeling you get when you are lonely and long for companionship, yet it all just feels so far away.
