I think this song is about the minutes or time a mother spends with her child before she has to give her up for adoption, a newborn. When she talks about "going quietly" its that she knows that its going to be better in the long run for the child, and when she talks about not being able to keep it but being able to call it by name, and how its not fair and she'll never be the same.
