I feel like the song is directed to a guy as he leaves her, trying to make him come back and trying to console herself that perhaps the relationship wasn't that great anyway because of how stubborn she was and perhaps how violent he is.
Compare: "i never meant to be the needle that broke your back."
To the cliches: "the straw that broke the camel's back" and "like finding a needle in a haystack"
Notice how she joins these two? I think she's saying that she didnt mean to hurt him while at the same time saying that it will be hard to find another girl like her and that he shouldnt have left her. the words "dont look back" show this need to still call him back, to yell at someone, "fine. walk away and dont look back!" while at the same time telling herself that she should not regret the break up.
"he war he war he will kill for you"
i think i sense some sarcasm in this statement. he war. there is violence in their relationship. he will kill for you. he'll love you but it will be violent. on the other hand, she might be saying that he's fighting for something, that he's constantly lost in this war. he'll metaphorically kill for her. it think it's probably the latter as it says he will kill for you.
"I'm not that hot new chick
And if you won't let me run with it
We're on to your same old trick
Get up and run away with it"
I think she's pointing out that while she doesnt want him to leave, she's still very stubborn about her role in the relationship. she's not gonna be his b*tch and that she wont live with his war(his same old trick). i think the line "get up and run away with it" has a similar meaning to the line "don't look back"
