    When the lyrics say "give my gun away when it's loaded,is that alright" I think the gun represents her heart.she's with some1 she loves, yet there's this other guy she wants to give it to,and for what reason I wouldn't know. It's so hard to decide when choosing which of the two you love more. and it's true, there's no excuse for cheating, and she get's so confused, that's why she keeps seeking comfort in asking if it's ok to do it. This song makes me cry,every single time.
