He realizes that his fantasies about her being faithful and finally having a monogamous relationship is fruitless 'this all was only wishful thinking'. He lets it known that he knows all about her conquests and wants to throw it back in her face how she's a cheater 'a thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins' and that if neither of them ever talk about it, they can continue on with their sham of a relationship 'I won't ever ask if you don't ever tell me' because even having some part of her is better than not having her at all 'I know you well enough to know you never loved me'.
I'm going to dissect every line in this song. Its long but OH so worth it. Your lipstick, his collar.. I hope I did it justice I tried my best. Definitely not about a guy cheating at all.

He knows all about the cheating and how she gets suckered in by sweet talkers. He regrets that he didn't get out of it earlier but wants to believe that she loved him but "knows her well enough to know she never loved him".
