I know. Even if I haven't read it since I was about 15. It was more that she was referring to herself as the letter itself. The wearer of the letter was the participant, but the two physical reminders/evidence were her child and the letter she had to wear.
Romeo and Juliet is such an overly misused story in songs and literature and television references all over the place that it's, while disheartening, not at all surprising at this point. I was jaded enough beforehand that the song didn't make me do much more than roll my eyes and go, "Another one." But then it got to that line and I wondered, "Why on earth would you even bring that into it!?"
