Don't apologize if you can't look me in my eyes
It kills me, now I don't know you
I don't owe you, take the money and go
Leave my heart broke, you could have had everything I own
You've got so lost, I don't get it
Where you get off leaving me all alone?

You said some things that you can't take back
I know where it's going when you look like that
You can see what you started and you still want more
You shouldn't want a war

Shots fired, shots fired, I know
Shots fired, words start flying, real love
Words start flying, real love
Shots fired, shots fired, I know
Shots fired, words start flying, real love
Words start flying, real love

Everyone you love, in a week I watched you give em up
I guess I should have seen it coming
Never thought you'd pull the trigger on me
And days after you left
No one could tell me where you went
You turned your back like a coward
In the end you were never a friend

If you walk out now then you can't come back
I know where it's going when you look like that
You can see what you started and you still want more
You shouldn't want a war

Shots fired, shots fired, I know
Shots fired, words start flying, real love
Words start flying, real love
Shots fired, shots fired, I know
Shots fired, words start flying, real love
Words start flying, real love

And now that everything's undone
Go and tell yourself you've won
Or hate the way you've become
You're talking like a loaded gun
Aiming it at everyone
Just take the money and run

Shots fired, shots fired, I know
Shots fired, words start flying, real love
Words start flying, real love
Shots fired, shots fired, I know
Shots fired, words start flying, real love
Words start flying, real love

    My Interpretation

    I believe this song most obviously sounds like some kind of relationship gone wrong. Either it's referring to a romantic relationship gone sour or a very close friendship. Sounds like the reasons it ended may have something to do with the other person suddenly leaving and not giving a reason why & this very much upset the other. The person who was left is expressing their disappointment, they feel hurt, used and betrayed by the other & this song is how they are venting it all out.
