while I think that this song has lots of layers to it, I think that the character in this song is a woman
"I'll drown my beliefs to have your babies".. men don't tend to have babies, even if it's a play on words
"I'll dress like your niece".. is just kind of obvious
etc
like a woman who is so desperate to keep her imperfect relationship together that she will sacrifice everything including herself, try to be someone else, in order to stay secure in it?
she is scared of being alone forever if the relationship falls apart
and then there's the child living off of lollipops and crisps waiting for his parents (that don't deserve such loyalty) to come back.. the truest love is often overlooked and taken for granted by those receiving it, maybe, to the demise of many relationships?
I agree with your interpretation 100%. It's really quite surprising that most people hear this as a true love song. Well, it's about unrequited love, which I guess is a type of love.
