The opening verse is an image of sterile dark wasteland, no people, no light. Her partner is very close, perhaps too close, but she feels isolated.
The chorus talks about how they wanted a child.
Pressed up against the glass...one of the viewing windows where you can see babies in the hospital? It makes her want the child she can't have even more the automatic love of a child for a mother but it would be the "death of her". She has a medical problem that keeps her from carrying safely.
The song ends with her walking out on her man. The relationship has broken on their failed attempt to have a child.
