Very obviously about being "the other woman." The only question I really have is what the final verse means. Was losing herself regret about the affair, or regret about telling the wife? And I thought the phrase "I clipped my nails" was odd--why send her fingernails? The only thing I can think of are biting one's nails in nervousness.
