My interpretation is that I think the song in its simplest form is about heartbreak or loss of a loved one. I could possibly be about losing move more because of the 'Like a broken hearted soldier'. Many times when soldiers have return home from war and such things they've found that their wife, husband or girlfriend or boyfriend have found another love. Though as I think about it hidden part about her and her mother knowing but not saying that Trinity is cry's for could be about that Trin had loved someone from afar again maybe the guy or girl broken Trinity's heart without knowing it so she's crying, though these tears are weary exhausted flames of light that always flicker.
The lyrics should read:
I love you I cried on your mother's shoulder Like a broken hearted soldier She knew and I knew What all the tears were for
Weary exhausted flames of light Weary exhausted flames of light Weary exhausted flames of light
Trinity's crying Trinity's crying Trinity's crying Trinity's crying
I love you, I love you I love you, I love you
Weary exhausted flames of light Weary exhausted flames of light
Trinity's crying Trinity's crying Trinity's crying Trinity's crying
