Steele in this song talks about his past relationship and he explains the feeling and the pain he went through, throughout this whole song. He describes the pain as something to being left in the mud and getting his spirits torn away.
Nothin' was the way it was
When you left me in the sinking mud
T-t-tell me is you really numb or it's a cover up for the things you've done?
You tore my spirits away on the weekend
The chilly breeze of the wind did the singing
A lullaby you once sang to me
It's a lullaby that put my soul to sleep
I've been lying saying that I'm fine
But I ain't really fine
I been tryna find love but I been wastin' time
F-f-feel like I'm Kurt Cobain on this line
My angel has fallen but it's about to rise
I can't think no more
I think it's time to go
My heart is turned to stone
Baby, let me go
Think I had enough
Think I had enough
The only time I loved you was when you be giving head
Keep it one hundred with me and I'ma try my best
I can't fuck that ho, no I can't do that shit again
The only shit I care about is all the things you said
Oh no, no no, no, no
Oh no, no no, no, no
I cannot let it go
Too much I [?] I'm 'bout to blow
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Nothin' was the way it was
When you left me in the sinking mud
Nothin' was the way it was
When you left me in the sinking mud
Tell me is you really numb or it's a cover up for the things you've done?
You tore my spirits away on the weekend
The chilly breeze of the wind did the singing
A lullaby you once sang to me
It's a lullaby that put my soul to sleep
