Hannah Fury's Wicked songs are so perfect to the characters in the book. She is true to the characters and further brings them to life.
The first part of the song is about the character Sarima. Sarima is Fiyero's wife through an arranged marriage. Although they have children together there never seems to have be great love between them. Marriage was more of a practical matter. Sill Sarima waits for his return. She seems an unquestioning soul and believes what she is told.
The second part speaks of Elphaba. The "Wicked Witch of the West". She is guided much more by her determination to break the hold of the corrupt system that governs OZ than by her own feelings and emotions. Still she loved Fiyero and feels guilt and responsibility for his death. They were after all looking for her. She embraces her pain and anger as that is really all she has to hold on to.
The final portion is also about Elphaba. There was something that happened that raised her hopes that maybe Fiero was still alive and would return. Her heart hopes this is the case but it was not to be.
