The lyrics certainly struck a chord with many fans, and they wee quick to flood the comments section with praise for the star.
One wrote: "As a divorced woman, I needed this. She’s our tribe leader now. She’s our queen."
Another penned: "IT'S A F*****G MASTERPIECE #Adele #EasyOnMe."
Adele previously said in an interview with Vogue that she hopes that her son can use the lyrics to digest what happened between his parents and their decision to divorce.
She said: "We got married when I was 30… and then I left. When I was 30, my entire life fell apart and I had no warning of it."
She told the fashion mag: "I wanted to explain to him through this record, when he's in his twenties or thirties, who I am and why I voluntarily chose to dismantle his entire life in the pursuit of my own happiness.
The singer was married to Simon Konecki in 2019, however, their relationship broke down a few months into married life and they decided to split permanently the same year.
Here are the lyrics in full:
There ain't no gold in this river
That I been washin' my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters
But I can't bring myself to swim
When I am drownin' in the silence
Baby, let me in
[Chorus]
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose what I chose to do
So go easy on me
[Verse 2]
There ain't no room for our things to change
When we are both so deeply stuck in our ways
You can't deny how hard I've tried
I changed who I was to put you both first
But now I give up
[Chorus]
Go easy on mе, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel thе world around me
Had no time to choose what I chose to do
So go easy on me
[Bridge]
I had good intentions
And the highest hopes
But I know right now
It probably doesn't even show
[Chorus]
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
I didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose what I chose to do
So go easy on me
