To me this song seems to be sung about lust without love. He's in a relationship, but the other partner seems not to care for anything besides lust and sex. And he's asking them to tell him, do they love him or not?

"I've already seen a true romance, and it don't look like that" Obviously states that he doesn't feel that what they're doing is considered romantic or having anything to do with love.

"Promise refusal" To me says that the other person can't promise him something, obviously to love him.

"Does it distract you? Pillar of flesh" Erm, I'll let you decide what the pillar of flesh is.
