I always thought this song was pretty, but it has a sinister feel in the middle, where the singer gasps and the words stop for a short time. I think it was about how one night she left her lover's place late at night, and then she got raped on the way home. And she never told him, she just broke up with him after that, maybe she got pregnant from the rape. And the baby was her "cross to wear".
