The night before the moon died
You realized
The flowers that you picked
And kept locked away
Were never to be seen
By naked lovers' eyes
The night before the moon died
You realized
You had a chance to make it right
But you never did
Take your car right out of gear
Send it over the sea
Touch your fingers to the water
Put your hands to your face
The night before the moon died you realized
You lost this one now, girl
The night before the moon died
You had your chance to change your mind
You had your chance to make it right
You had your chance to save your life
You never did, oh no
You never did, no no
You never did (no, no, no, no)
You never did (no, no, no, no)
You never did, goodbye
No, no, no, no (see you around now, girl)
No, no, no, no (seen it all before)
No, no, no, no (life's been blown away)
No, no, no, no (you finally hit the ground)
No, no, no, no (there's nothin' left for you)
No, no, no, no (goodbye, goodbye, yeah)
You had your chance to change your mind
You had your chance to get it right
You had your chance to save your life
You never did
You realized
The flowers that you picked
And kept locked away
Were never to be seen
By naked lovers' eyes
You realized
But you never did
Send it over the sea
Touch your fingers to the water
Put your hands to your face
You lost this one now, girl
You had your chance to change your mind
You had your chance to make it right
You had your chance to save your life
You never did, no no
You never did (no, no, no, no)
You never did, goodbye
No, no, no, no (seen it all before)
No, no, no, no (life's been blown away)
No, no, no, no (you finally hit the ground)
No, no, no, no (there's nothin' left for you)
No, no, no, no (goodbye, goodbye, yeah)
You had your chance to get it right
You had your chance to save your life
You never did

This song is really beautiful, and very sad. Presumably, it's about a breakup, a painful one, possibly due to a suicide ("you had a chance to save your life, but you never did"). A great and sad tune, highly underrated. Check it out.

I think you are correct about the suicide.
