Reading the song's lyrics makes me think it could be about Richie leaving the band.

A Judas kiss - what Richie did?



Jon wanted to tour too early, he admitted it was too soon afterwards.



His response to Richie leaving was as if nothing has happened and the show must go on but in reality it had a bigger effect than he let everyone know. I remember the When we were beatiful documentary where he said he won't allow others to see how he really feels.

Am I reading too much into the lyrics?
Never actually considered this idea. But as you just posted the 2nd verse - in that context I finally seem to understand what the lyrics are about. Also the lines "my treasure just rags, wings that don't fly" make mmore sense to me now.
