I think this song is about suicide. In the first bit of the song she makes the decision she has been holding on, thats what I do since I met you (depression) and it won't be long. Would you notice if I left you (suicide). Sleepless nights.

Then she she starts singing about the daffodils looking lovely, she has come to peace with her decision. I have decided to leave you forever.

The end nanana symbolizes death, funeral music almost. When you pick a dafodil it begins dying even though it looks lovely for a while.
