This song always seems to me about and one night stand that she had with a married man. Many years later, the man's wife died and Suzanne goes to the wife's wake to pay her respects.
Suzanne feels as if the man's daughter can see through her & knows Suzanne was one of many women with whom her father had a one night stand while married. (Hence, "I feel that she peeled back my guilty disguise")
Red is Suzanne
Gray is the man with whom she had the affair
Song is their history
