I took it to heart
When you said I was the start
Of a new beginning

Then we grew apart
With your tantrum stitched depart
Another new ending

It isn’t you it’s me
It isn’t you it’s me
That’s what they always say
That’s what they always say

Mind and love move to another
Staring down your loaded gun
Victims wait to be smothered
With your mind changing fun
Teenage hypocrisy
Always more fish in the sea

He will give me fame
I’ll delay the crying game
I want it all

He’ll give me money
But he won’t think it’s funny
When I take it all

It isn’t you it’s me
It isn’t you it’s me
That’s what they always say
That’s what they always say

Mind and love move to another
Staring down your loaded gun
Victims wait to be smothered
With your mind changing fun
Teenage hypocrisy
Always more fish in the sea

ya, its metaphorical =) basically the partner who is holding the gun is the one who is "playing" the other one, hence he/she is about to end the others life in the relationship

because it is about how teenagers always fall in love, but never commit. they go into relationships without loving, yet they still say it. they are hypocrites. i guess i should say we, im only 18
