I don't know if this is just me, but could this song be about prostitution?
It kind of sounds to me like it's about a man who depends on a prostitute to heal him and make his life worth living, but he still keeps his relationship with her a secret. He keeps promising her that he'll love her forever, but in reality, his promises are as shallow as the wishes made into a wishing well, and however much he loves her and however much they both need each other, he can never tell anyone because she's still a prostitute and he's afraid of the stigma, so no one can ever know about his goodnight girl.
