Lyric discussion by IzzyKay 

As quoted from the Guardian. [The news that Buckley had disappeared — he drowned, swimming in the Wolf river in Memphis — came while Fraser was recording Teardrop with Massive Attack. "That was so weird," she says. "I'd got letters out and I was thinking about him. That song's kind of about him — that's how it feels to me anyway." It seems she is haunted by guilt: for not being there for Buckley, for everything. As she puts it: "I need to forgive myself."]

It's her process of breaking up with him and forgiving herself and her feelings of being responsible for it..

Her feelings of love, fearlessly saying it, and crying drives her forward in her process of mourning.. black flowers are goodbyes/farewells to let that love for him go...

She had an abortion and said so in an interview. Elizabeth Fraser sang it and wrote it. She was in the Cocteau Twins.
