Plus once I realized that, I could argue back very easily. Sure, the lyrics don't fit the current Ruby but what Jeff said was It's her reaction to her mother's death. The lyrics fit what the song is trying to convey. A child who is now crushed by the news of her mother's death. It happened years ago and Ruby was able to move on but surely she was crushed when she finally realized what this meant like any normal child back in the days. After all, Yang did say that Ruby was too little to understand what was happening but at some point, the cheerful kid who believed in fairy tales and happy endings got the message and like any normal kid: She got depressed and threw everything into the trash which is literally what happens in this song.

Basically, Wholockian, the lyrics might not fit the current Ruby in your eyes but take in account that the lyrics are for the past Ruby.
