Under a moonlit and starry night sky, the persona is walking, mooning over the absence of his love. The jaunty music belies the tugs at his heartstrings - he's only pretending to be happy! Thus, the paradox!
This song is reminiscent of 'The Great Pretender' by the Platters; except that the persona indulges in his bout of silent lovesickness instead of telling us how well he plays the game of pretense to camouflage his true feelings.
Why does the persona of the song pretend to be happy? He makes himself appear to be happy to others by raising his head to put on the “he's fine” mask to shield himself from the painful feelings or emotions that might be stirred up within him because that is what feels safe to him. Is it okay for the persona to pretend to be happy? Pretending to be happy can have adverse effects on his mental health. When he constantly hides his emotions and puts on a happy façade, he denies himself the opportunity to address his true feelings. This suppression can cause anxiety issues, stress, and even depression.
