Truthfully, I think it's not about someone you "shouldn't be with". It's about someone who you are conflicted about. Going through the lyrics:
In the first verse, she is saying she used to pine after him with no returned affection. Now she is able to get what she wants but no longer wants to "play those cards" (i.e. attempt to get the affection).
Second verse she is stating that she is being stoic, despite her conflicted feelings. She's struggling internally to decide whether he is worth it or not.
The third verse simply explains her inner turmoil and confusion. Why does he still make her happy? What would happen if she did "play her cards" and she ended up in his arms, would this all just be that funny thing that no longer mattered?
Throughout it she tells her lover/former lover to wait. Just wait while she figures it all out and comes back to see him... and in her heart, she knows she will.
"The rain will bring me down" is just is just her way of saying how, given the circumstances, even something as simple as a rainy day can send her in a tailspin, crushing her because of all of her conflicting emotions.
