Interesting, pedestrian. I never really thought that this song implied she cheated on her lover, though that's certainly a valid interpretation.
As a whole, it seems like she's reflecting on a relationship that has been over for decent amount of time. She and the guy had disconnected on some very basic levels, and while she hadn't been able to write him off entirely, it was obvious to her that they didn't work. I interpreted the lines about summer as the period in their relationship when all was good. She kept expecting to wake up knowing the reason they were together, but they eluded her.
Maybe the two were never really committed to making the affair last, either due to a reluctance to truly open up ("there were some thing that I did not tell him, there were certain things he did not need to know"), simply being too oblivious to the needs of the other person, or... I don't know, just being apathetic or too jaded.
In any case, it's an incredible song. One of my favorites from her.
