The last verse is missing:
"She'll never admit it
She never considered this
She always means better
She's wasting all her time"
Sara is a lonely girl who had a very specific dream of what she wanted when she grew up. She wants "flowers," a metaphor for her dream life, but her window is just a brick wall, meaning she didn't get exactly what she wanted. she wants to see the beauty out there but she feels like all she can get are the automatic flowers of her childhood book, which she keeps playing with, all alone, because she feels like that's the best she can do. the flowers are automatic because they always open on command, and she wants happiness to be at her command. Even though it is the best she can do, she just wants more, and she's frustrated that's she's not getting it. "her garden blooms, but sara can't see straight she's drinking herself blind" means that she has things that she should be happy about all around her, but she's too busy being self-destructive about not getting exactly what she wanted that she can't see it. "No one can help her find" means that no matter what anyone does, she will never see it. She's spending her life crying because she never got her ideal life. the last verse, "she'll never admit it, she never considered this" means she doesn't want anyone to know why she's so upset, despite the fact that it's obvious from her crying and drinking that she is. "she always feels better, she's wasting all her time" I am familiar with as what you think of when you have that depressed person who you ask if they are ok, but they never are, they just always say "I'll be ok" implying that they'll feel better later. It's like her always saying "I'll feel better later" but right now she's spending her time crying. She'll never feel better for real.

That's just my interpretation.
I think that interpretation hits the nail on the head.
