I think it's about an interracial relationship back when they were illegal, I don't think that the girl is dead or that it's pedophelia. 1) The title: Bruno is orange I think that "Bruno" is referring to a black man. The reason he is orange is because he went to jail for being with the girl. 2) The government guy. Since it was illegal back then, maybe someone got suspicious and reported them, then the guy would be a detective explaining why he seems to be asking questions. 3) When she says that Bruno can love her more than anyone then she is trying to prove that he is not less than any other man since he can hold her down and love her just like anyone else. 4) When she asks if he lost his good sense he probably told the government guy about the relationship. 5) Her mother "protects" her by either actually breaking her legs or stopping her from going anywhere. 6) " I think it's real unfair that you should put him there" again, she values Bruno like any other man and doesn't see anything wrong with the relationship. 7) "all we did was kiss, on my grave I swear" since in my theory Bruno confessed she is probably trying to reduce his sentence. The "on my grave I swear" is just her swearing on her grave, they didn't literally kiss on her grave. 8)"Everyone will know, everyone will yell. Please be a good man, please say you won't tell." I think that is pretty obvious but it's that people will look down on their relationship and probably raise pitchforks against Bruno. 9) The entire last verse is either her talking to herself pretending that it's Bruno or her writing a letter to him. The phrase "An orange warms the stomach" is a metaphor for pregnancy, I believe. I'm not sure about this but when she talks about fevers and fruit curing them she might be hinting at morning sickness but idk. 10) The lock of her hair and the shoes are either evidence that the relationship happened or her proving that he didn't abuse her. Shoes = kicking and a lock of hair = him pulling her hair out. 11) "My mother says that I will surely go to hell" is just the mom telling her daughter that she is going to hell of being with Bruno because it's a "sin". 12) The sheets was probably when they "did it" and the creek was just them having fun/ going on a date since they wrote their names next to each other and went to feed ducks. 13) Incogneeto mentioned that there were jingeling noises in the song at about 2:22 that could be a reference to chains. Anyway, that's my theory about this song. Stay strong and love who you want! Edit: Formatting + 10,11,12 Edit 2: 13 + fixing some spelling errors
