orig. from Bulletproof cupid:
"Leave me out with the waste
This is not what i do"
--They are disappointed in themself. They are hurting someone who doesn't deserve it. They have something perfect and want to be thrown away because they have feelings for someone else.--
"It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new"
--They are with someone and have feelings for another. It's not the right time for another person because they are already comitted to someone who loves them--
"It's a small crime
And i've got no exuse"
--They didn't want to have these feelings for another person, it just happened. They have no excuse because they cannot change how they feel--
"Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded"
--They are wanting to know if the affair is alright to one another, both partners are cheating to be with each other. Give my gun away when it's loaded basically is saying they have so much with this other person and to give it away would emotionally kill the other person--
"Is that alright?
If you dont shoot it how am i supposed to hold it"
--If they do not leave their partners how are they supposed to be together. How can they have a relationship (the gun) when there is another person (the bullet). They do not want to hold a loaded gun anymore--
"It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you"
--Their partner is good to them and they feel so unfair becaue they are cheating on them--
"It's the wrong time
but she's pulling me through"
--The person they are having the affair with is the true person they love. Though they are with someone else this other person is the one that is pulling them through life--
This is how I interupted the song. Reguardless the lyrics are really powerful.

**I interpreted the lyrics the exact same way you did!! It is definitely about cheating. The man in the song has formed feelings for someone else even though he is in a committed relationship. It may be that it started out as an emotional affair and then became more serious.
When SHE says "its the wrong kind of place to be thinking of you" it is the voice of the woman he is having the affair with. She knows that it is wrong and feels guilty; hence her saying "leave me out with the waste"--she feels crappy about what she is doing.
"Give my gun away when its loaded" can be referring to both of them wanting to resist temptation but its too difficult because they are undeniably attracted and feel connected to one another
"If you don's shoot how am I supposed to hold it"--If no partner is taking action in making the awful situation better, how are they going to be happy?
HE then gos on to say "its the wrong kind of place to be cheating on you" which clearly shows the guilt he feels for the affair he is having with the other woman. When he says "its the wrong time, she's pulling me through" he could be referring to the way this other woman tempts him.
This is exactly how I interpret this. I am going through this in my life right now. It is one of the worst and most confusing feelings I have ever experienced aside from losing a former boyfriend to death.
