Yeah, this song is obviously to herself. I heard her say before that she doesn't write a lot of romantic songs. Most of the time in her songs she's singing to herself.
The line, "Sing the last thing on your mind," is...well, picture this. She has just gone through something really bad, and now she has to get up on stage and sing a song about something totally different. She has to such it up and get the job done. Whatever it was that she's been through, she can't let it get the best of her and effect her on stage, or in life.
I think this song carries a message to all of us that, yeah the world sucks, but that shouldn't hold us back, nor should our feelings hold us back, from doing what we need to do. Basicly, have a positive attitude regardless of the circumstances.
Also, her being a Christian, I believe the "I'll" could be her telling herself that she'll keep herself in check, but I think it's more plausible that it's God telling her this.
Your interpretation took on a new meaning of the song for me. I never considered that it could be about God, although I know a lot of her songs are. It seems much more encouraging and meaningful when you put it that way, as if God is talking to directly to her and us through this song.
