Actually, the line is "You ain't gonna tell me that you were a saint 
every time you two were apart." Implies the guy was sleeping around, 
the woman found out and dumped him. Now the singer (SK) is trying to 
console this loser friend of his. He says things like, "I know just 
how it feels" and "You've got your broken heart, I've got mine" 
implying the singer has done the same thing. Gotta think a few beers 
are helping them through this, explaining why they "Feel so fine" 
near the end. Thank God for Eve and Aurora!

This song is a perfect climax for the album. Those guitars and vocals 
soar! The last 50 seconds seemed odd at first, but they make a 
seamless transition into Invisible.

Me too!
