My interpretation of this song is that she is singing about her childhood.
The overall angst of growing up and youth lost and wasted on the young. If you follow the other songs on her album this makes sense as the general theme of her music is growing up, growing old, finding and losing love.
"I left her 15 years behind..."
I'm not the same "girl" I used to be, I left that person behind long ago and I am a much different person now...
"God knows I tried to leave her...but she's got a constant fever...
I let it slip my mind..."
Even though I am not that person I was before and o'how much I've tried to change, still, my past is part of who I am today... how often I forget.
