yay, I'm the first to comment

this is one my favourite songs on the album.

it's about a relationship that's breaking down and he's probably having an affair(what's with all the late night liqor phone calls?) but she has some kind of secret too(a secret safe behind a pretty smile), possibly that she's also having an affair and that fact that it's hers and no one else's is making her feel better

OR ALTERNATIVELY She's the only one who's had an affair, but she's having "late night liqor phone calls" with her lover which are making her partner suspicous and he's asking questions which are making her nervous(and who said it was cool to be asking me these questions)and she's scared he's going to find out "why I can't love you". she's still pretty sure her secret is "safe behind a pretty smile" but she's starting to panic and get confused ,so the song starts off without any questions but by the end it's almost entirely questions.

But in that case, why doesn't she just leave her current partner? Anyone any ideas? I only worked out this second interpretation as I was writing this and now I really want to know!
