I'm probably way off and I'll be the first to admit it, but I see a lot of similarities between the lyrics and Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. [By the way, spoiler alert for the whole post for anyone who hasn't read this 150+ year old book yet.] The lyrics from the point of view of Heathcliff speaking to younger Catherine about her mother, older Catherine. I mostly think this because Heathcliff asked to be buried next to older Catherine with the adjacent sides of each of their coffins removed so that the dirt they rot into will mix.
Older Catherine also did trade him for the lump sum, Edgar Linton, the wealthier and more stable of her two suitors.
As hard as she tried, she couldn't make Heathcliff, who the family picked up off of the streets as a child, into a gentlemen and any of her efforts did last very long as he became very violent and crazy towards the end of the book.
Older Catherine also could only treat the symptoms of her own insanity but could not treat the root of the problem and quickly died early in the book.
