While I do agree with you for the most part aecter, I see it more as perhaps she was unfaithful to him at one time, he forgive her for her misdeed and as much as he would like to put it behind him, it's slowly beginning to effect their relationship.
I agree with the interpretation of "All this time is ash and sand." He says, "So what if I don't feel/see it?" as sort of defensive, saying that their relationship isn't as strong as it once was, but it isn't his fault. It's falling
apart because of her mistake, and as such he has a difficult time feeling very guilty about it.
"Torn apart from limb to limb and put in place again" could refer to him discovering the bad news and being truly heartbroken over it. After discussion and the like, he slowly begins to trust her again, hence "put in place again." However, the foil between the word "torn" and the phrase "put in place" could better show that the damage done was not fully repaired.
"Innocence is gone" could refer to the pureness of their relationship being tarnished forever due to her mistake.
"You don't taste the same" is kind of self-explanatory. Every time he kisses her, the thought of what happened is stuck in the back of his head. As a result, whatever they shared before was ruined. The line together pounds the fact home that the innocent nature that was once there is now gone.
"The steps between us are starting to show, the space between us is starting to grow" is also pretty self explanatory. Aecter nailed it.
