Well just from reading the lyrics... it sounds like the persona is in love with a prostitute..
"someone who's not going cheap in the sales"
"Under the deep red lights" - a reference to the red-light district perhaps?
"We tried to make it work...You're used to wearing less" - perhaps she tried to go clean to make things work out with the persona - but ultimately failed.
Actually, the more I read it, the more it looks that way. I guess it could just be a metaphor for being in love with someone, but it just doesn't ultimately work out because you're too different from one another.
Kind of like that fatal-flaw that seems to split relationships apart.
If you think about it like that.. then the song is quite sad, as the persona ultimately gives up on his love.. and settles for the "steady life"

Just my interpretation.
