I agree with the well written comments here, just one thing to add:
Sunflowers follow the sun. They'll move with the suns rays to catch more light. I think the artists are considering themselves the sun (and a lot of relationships end up this way, with one person worshiping the other), and the girl is the sunflower since she'll turn to them to get affection no matter the state of the relationship.
It's a shitty dynamic both for the person who's the subject of affection ("I think your love would be too much") and the person who's so focused on not losing them. No one wins in this kind of relationship.
@lupination I think the comments above are right, but you really hit the nail right on the head. It's about a relationship dynamic, where one is more invested in the other, where one needs the other - where "you'd be lost in the dust, unless I stuck by ya".

@lupination kind of arrogant thinking he is the only one who can end the relationship (left in the dust). Celebreties can get dumped by regular people too. Which is why i used to hate this song, seems disrespectful by looking down on your partner.

But as i read it again the story seems to be the girl giving the boy lots of problems, but the boy sticks with the girl because the boy cares for her.

It's a really bittersweet song. Love it.
