I totally agree this song is about a relationship where he is not able to commit. He comes and goes but he cannot deal properly with his struggles and keeps feeding empty promises to the other person that he never keeps, so that relationship is never stable. But aside from this, there is a very important detail:
"I'm your dissapearing one
Vanish when the curtain's drawn".
This is a secret, hidden relationship. They are only together when no one can see them and no one can know. And then he compares the other person with a painting of Christ, which is a strange comparison if he's referring to a woman.
If you want to know the point of view of the other part, check "Off he goes" by Pearl Jam ;).
