Ed Sheeran – Moving Lyrics 2 years ago
Given all the super negative things happening in his life, this is the only interpretation I could come up with that makes sense to me:

This song is his intense indictment & complete rejection of the music industry that deeply betrayed him with the plagiarism court case that was held against him (until it finally recently resolved in his favor). This released only one day after he won the case.

If you recall, he swore that if he lost that case, he would stop producing music entirely. This song must be that intent expressed as a relationship that went sour, very similar to Eminem's 25 To Life.

As he said himself when he made that promise: "I find it really insulting to devote my whole life to being a performer and a songwriter and have someone diminish it."
Seems to fit the theme and lyrics of this song perfectly.
