The simplest explanation is usually the correct one, after all. I agree that Jefferson was referencing the cursed memories he had as well as his original EF memories. I believe he chose to phrase it as "two lives in my head" because of how much he lost his head in Wonderland trying to make a hat "work" so he could return home to his daughter only  for himself to get transported, via the curse, to this new place where his own daughter doesn't even recognize him. Plus, he must feel really messed up furthermore because he has the implanted cursed memories and can recall his "past" in Storybrooke yet knowing at the same time all of it actually did not happen. That's exactly what I thought he meant as well. It summed it all up when he said "it's hard enough living in a world that you don't belong, but knowing it....holding conflicting realities in your head...will drive you mad."
