I don’t think this song is necessarily about a relationship. Lajon seems to use “us” in a context that means humanity and just the audience of the song rather than two people in a relationship.
My opinion is that the song’s about when people twist your intentions and your words and your actions and use them to quell their guilt in a way that magnifies your pain. And just the way you have to deal with it and recover from it. It’s about feeling low and empty, losing hope (“like the sun is just burned out”). And just realizing that the one person you could count on, that you learned to depend on isn’t going to offer help or love any longer and that you’ve just got to push through the pain (“just wash the blood off my face”) and not give in to it.
