the led singer of the smithereens is singing about a sentimental girl who liked him and he ignored her and then ether she died of deppresion or suicide because she loved him. And he feels bad because he ignored her so he lays cut flowers on her grave. hence " I say i'm sorry as I lay cut flowers on her grave."
