Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If u don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
With you?

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
She's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright?
I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you dont shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

Is that alright?
I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
If I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?

No

by basing my opinion on both the lyrics and the video...
i can say that the story, obviously, revolves around the relationship of a guy and a girl...
the story starts off where the foundation of their relationship was already gone...
the guy tries to fix things up with the girl...
but at first she was reluctant...
but then...
she tried to overlook all of the things that he did just to make it all work out...
then the girl says "give my gun away when it's loaded"
the gun symbolizes the events that happen in their relationship...
the girl did her part in the event by loading the gun...
now she doesn't want to hold the gun when it's loaded...
then there comes the role of the guy...
he is supposed to fire the gun to empty it...
so that the girl can hold the again to reload it...
basically it implies that all relationships are two way...
it is an interaction between the partners...
and when the interaction is absent...
the relationship is merely futile...
just like the gun when it is not fired...
is it useless because...
that is its sole purpose...
to fire up the bullets...
then the children in the video personifies the 9th event that ended it all out...
the girl says "it's a wrong time for somebody new"
then the guy says "it's a wrong time to be cheating on you"
so it is understood then that the girl caught the guy cheating and he had it coming...
it shows in the video that the guy didn't even try to do anything to save their relationship by stopping the kids or even taking the pebble for the girl...
maybe that was the small crime that he did...
which is he did nothing...
but mainly it's his infidelity that lead them to that situation...
and for the 9th time that the girl put up with his bull...
she can't find anymore excuses to make herself believe that everything will still work out...
thus their relationship came to an end...
which can never be fixed again because of too much pain that the girl has experienced...

but then again... this is just my POV...
