Its hard to tell,
I have a friend who sings & writes a lot of songs, but I dont get them either.
Sometimes songwriters write personal things that turn out tobe really cool, but not a lot of people understand it.
sorry if that wasn thelpful.

If you want my honest opinion, I think she was stoned, drunk or just simply mental when she wrote this because I can't understand them either. It just seems like some random song that she threw together without trying to find a meaning!
Anyway, my interpretation of it is that she fell in love with someone (the "black horse")that either she shouldn't have/lived in some foriegn place/was someone she didn't expect to like in that way. Although she tried to convice herself that she didnt like him ("Your not the one for me"), in the end she realised she did ("my heart hit a problem in the early hours") and that she maybe even loved him ("I sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere with a big black horse"). However, she never ever followed it through ("my heart wont forgive me after all these years") and although in her heart she knows she does love him (thats why her heart has stayed in the place with the horse and the tree), she tries to convince herself she did the right thing by not following it through(ending the song with "your not the one for me").
So there we are, thats what I think. Of course, it could be a lot of gibberish and KT's symbols of the black horse and cherry tree may mean something completely different. Hope I helped though, even just to help you come up with ideas :)
