Allow me a slightly different interpretation. I wouldn't put too much empahsis on the 'Mrs.' and more on other parts of the song. Possibly the woman is married, possibly not.
So, we have this woman, who is distant, 'tough' and 'cold' and has been making the singer's life difficult. She's always kept her distance (or possibly even done him wrong in some way, hurt him), and now he's said: enough. (possibly publicly - "you wanted nobody around to see")
And all of a sudden that mask falls. She shows her true self:
"Didn't know you had it in you so be hurt at all / You waited too long / You should've hooked me / before I put my raincoat on" (i.e. before he went out into the rain and left her)
"You lost control and you lost your tongue / You lost me / Deaf in my ear / Nothing you can say is gonna change the way I feel" (she can't control him with her distance any more)
And now she tells him all of this, her feelings, shows how vulnerable she is ("Ok, I get it / Ok, I see etc."), but it's simply too late. She's dropped her mask (stopped fronting), shown her true self to get him back, but it's too late, he's deaf to her pleas, nothing she says changes the way he feels (cold!).
And he recognizes it is a game, this is the way it goes, and will go again. One can see this line three ways - either he is saying there is, possibly, after all, another chance for them now that she has shown her vunlerability (they can't get enough of each other, after all), or it is a general comment on how people play with each other, and sometimes the game is simply too much.
The third alternative is that 'can't get enough of' refers to the distance - we play with people, and keep our distance, and because of that we can never get enough of the other. We never get to see enough until it is too late.
'I step too close to your boundaries' - I wouldn't necessarily relate this to a marriage but simply to the fact that the singer has gotten closer to her than anyone else, and that this was difficult for her to deal with. And now it is too late.
To me, this is the perfect break-up song - his sweet somehow-still-loving but clear answer to her pleas: baby, no.
