This is probably so different to what anyone else thinks, but I saw the song totally backwards (probably because it happened to me with my guy). I thought that it implied that the GUY kissed another girl, and his girlfriend caught him.
He keeps saying to himself "it was only a kiss, it was only a kiss". How could something so small end a relationship and "end up like this"? After she caught him cheating, she moved on to someone new, and now he's jealous. "Because I want it all" (wants more than just his gf) and "But it’s just the price I pay" also shows that he knows he made a mistake and wants her back.
Don't blow my head off, lol. I realise that The Killers probably did intend it to be the other way around as everyone else mentioned, but this is what the song means to ME. Everytime I listen to this song, I dunno whether to be happy or sad. It's really beautifully written. Luv it
