I think the song is about a guy who is in love with a girl who has led 'no celebrate life'. The first verse, talking about her 'four day affair' and the 'gold plated legs of my rival' imply he has desired her, but just watches as she has fling after fling.
The song is about what he wants to say to her 'remeber the girls in the middle are always the first to fall off' as well as what he observes about her life and the narrative he assumes applies to her.
Despite the obvious sadness and longing there is an ambivalence to her, which is probably why he hasn't been one of the flings. He wants to love her, but he can't because she won't love him exclusively.
