I think this song is talking about how the narrator knows that her man is cheating on her. She goes through "crazy shit I did for you," meaning all the lengths she went to make sure he was happy and he still strays from her. She's angry at herself for putting so much effort into something the other half of the relationship continuously hurt.
She says that "never let it go," meaning that she will never forgive him for what he's done to them. In the chorus, she says how "I'm not going to hide it all...from you," meaning she's not going to hide the fact that she knows from him. She's "been lied to," and she's going to be the better person here by putting it all out on the table.
She's leaving him. She's "never coming home again." I specially like the line "Honey, I'm not your honey pie," because it gives a bit of insight and it adds to the "insult to injury" aspect of this. He's been calling her pet names, such as "honey pie," this whole time, and she's fed up with it. She won't accept the pet names any more. She knows it was all in effort to keep up the facade.
Also, in response to the title and general sound of the song, it was said to be a tribute to "garage band" days of bands. I don't remember who said it, but one of the sisters said the title is a reference to how generally when recording the raw, original sound of songs, the tracks are named something simple like "My Song #," and "My Song 5" is the original name for this track. One of the sisters said that the general sound of this song is fairly raw and that's a further tribute to where these songs originate. I heard this on a track commentary that I found on Spotify.
