I agree that I think this is about a married couple (or at least two people who have been together for a long time) but she's changed and now he doesn't recognize her anymore and she's not the person he fell in love with so he's trying to cope.
When he says "And I swear that's her face / Did you bury the woman I love / And fall asleep in her space?" that gives me the impression it's not over yet and they're still living together.
I always imagine him lying in bed with her in the morning (with some sort of rocky relationship in the days/weeks prior) and she's still sleeping so he's just lying there in bed looking at her and the photos they have together on the nightstand and wondering what the hell happened.

This is a really sad but beautiful song.
