I think he mentions two different girls in the song (I mean, if he even is talking about girls.)
I think the girl who was "passing through to climb a hill" was the girl who put him down and left him because she felt he was holding her down and she wanted to go for better things (climb in life).
He was then spilling his guts to either another girl friend or someone he met at a bar about the whole thing and the girl felt so sorry for him that she either slept with him.
He feels guilty because it's using the girl, but at that moment he was alone and hurt and just wanted her to fall for him so he didn't go home alone.
"I cough up compliments I think/ You're better off walking away while you still can" In the beginning he mentions how he's just complimenting her and hitting on her cos he feels like shit and even warns her to stay away
