[Verse 1]
It's not about the way you broke my heart
Everyone falling in and out of love
It's not about the way you played your card
You got your reasons boy I guess that's enough

[Pre-Chorus]
Not 'bout the way you left me in the dark
Still kind of thinking boy that you felt this spark
It's all about the way you shot me down
You shot me down

[Chorus]
Oh why'd you fire your words like bullets
Oh why'd you fire your words like bullets
It's all about the way you gave it up
Your words hurt like bullets the day you shot me down
It's all about the way now what you done
Oh boy it's better, better to hush your mouth
You shot me down
You shot me down
Now I can't breathe
Yeah it's all about the way you gave it up
Your words hurt like bullets the day you shot me down
(You words hurt like bullets-)
[Verse 2]
It's not about the way you acted out
I know you were trouble, you were trouble from the start
It's not about the way you lying now
Should've known better, should've kept up my guard

[Pre-Chorus]
Not 'bout the way you left me in the dark
Still kind of thinking boy that you felt this spark
It's all about the way you shot me down
You shot me down

[Chorus]
Oh why'd you fire your words like bullets
Oh why'd you fire your words like bullets
It's all about the way you gave it up
Your words hurt like bullets the day you shot me down
It's all about the way now what you done
Oh boy it's better, better to hush your mouth
You shot me down
You shot me down
Now I can't breathe
Yeah it's all about the way you gave it up
Your words hurt like bullets the day you shot me down

[Bridge]
Your words hurt like bullets-
Your words hurt like bullets-
Oh why'd you fire your words like bullets
[Chorus]
It's all about the way you gave it up
Your words hurt like bullets the day you shot me down
It's all about the way now what you done
Oh boy it's better, better to hush your mouth
You shot me down
You shot me down
Now I can't breathe
Yeah it's all about the way you gave it up
Your words hurt like bullets the day you shot me down
