Let's forget about Qrow and go back to the Thread.

This is what the song tell us about the mother and the daughter:

The daugther:

-She loves her mother more than anything in the world. She's like the column of her happiness and the moment that column disappears, all the joy falls with it leaving a broken place full of sadness and sorrow.

-She knew that it was a matter of time. Like the daughter of a soldier who has to participate in the war. She knows that the moment he walks through the door, it might be the last time. The lyrics clearly speculate that the Daugther was not there when the Mother died, someone else had to tell her the news.

-She does not blame her for dying but she could be just trying to convince herself that it's not her fault and she never planned to die. But what can you think about your father when you know that he is risking his life everyday and one day, he could be gone?

-No matter what she does or who she meets... no one can replace her Mother. This is also a speculation for Ruby having a different mother (Xiao Long) but the same father.

The Mother:

-She had to do whatever she did. There was no other choice left and when she made that choice, her Daugther was on her mind the whole time. She knew that her decision would force her to abandon her beloved Daugther, leaving her in a world that's full of madness. And whatever was what she did... it was for the sake of her daughter. But instead of saving her, she is now the cause of her suffering.

-There was someone else in the fray. Someone who meant as much to her as her Daughter did.

You're not the only one who needed me I thought you understood.
