I think the theory about the relationship breaking due to the guy being gay is plausible. I could definitely see that in the lyrics. I'm also seeing though, a sort of story about a woman and man who most definitely love and want each other, but that the man is going to leave her because of something he can't control, like death.
It seems odd because she mentions "You [the guy] have deceived her." I think maybe this is true, but he hasn't deceived her in the sense that he is having an affair or doesn't love her like he says. I think he's deceived her in the sense that he may have told her that they'd be together for a long time and because he has to leave, he's making that statement untrue.
I think "Sandpaper kisses" refers to the fact that now knowing that his having to leave her is uncontrollable, that kissing him, touching him or making love to him is rough, like sandpaper because he's eventually going to have to leave and those kisses and such will eventually cease.
