My immediate impression was that it was about a man in love with a woman, and the woman says she loves him, but that they must keep it a secret. However, he realizes that she does not really reciprocate his feelings and decides to leave.
In the first verse "You said the moon was ours" - it means she told him they could be together at night/in secret. "You said... to hell with the day, the sunlight is always gonna take love away. Raise up suspicions and alibis." I though this was her telling him that if they carried on together openly, people would not approve. But then he realizes it's all lies she's giving him.
Then when the lyrics say "I'll leave this time, break all my ties. Be no more use for any disguise" it refers to his resolve to leave, and then there would be no more use for all the sneaking around.
