When I hear this song it makes me think of a girl who's an escort, or a girl who's got a sugar daddy. The lyrics just seem to match: "I've sold all my gold", "I'm drinking for free", etc. Like she has a secret life, in another town with another man she's built a completely separate existence ("A girl just like me".)
Then when she changes tone and starts the "I love you" sections, she's singing to a spouse or a significant other back home.
The "another town" parts sound confident and just sort of matter-of-fact, she's stating all these things that she has got in this different city. But the "I love you"s sound sad and almost apologetic.
