After just going through a very hard break-up and realizing what my girlfriend was doing to me, I can relate to this very well. "Shot through the heart and you're to blame, darling you give love a bad name" this means that whomever that person was dating, they had broken their heart, it feels like they have been shot. "You're to blame," basically means that she/he is the one that broke your heart and she/he is the one that is making you feel this way.

"An angel's smile is what you sell You promise me heaven then put me through hell" They pretend to be all innocent and lovely and they promise you that they will be right by your side through it all, but instead the opposite of that happens.

"I play my part and you play your game" you are doing what you promised them you'd do, you mean everything that you tell them. All your love, all your stories, it's all real. But on their side? It's a game to toy with your heart, and everything they say is fake and when they think they're done with you, they throw you away.

"There's nowhere to run No-one can save me, the damage is done" you are heartbroken after what they did to you. The damage is done, they already did what they did and there's no turning back. There is no going back in time and turning down the relationship.

"You paint your smile on your lips Blood red nails on your fingertips A school boys dream, you act so shy" this means that she was faking everything. She faked that smile. She hid her true feelings. She seems all girly and innocent and amazing, and because of this, you loved her.

"Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye" To me, this line means that she stole a kiss from you, basically. The first time the two of you kissed, and the only time, you felt so much passion and so much love and your heart was burning. But she felt nothing, and broke up with you either that day or the day after, or sometime within that week.

On a side note, oh my goodness, I love this song! There's so much passion in his voice when he's singing it, Bon Jovi is an amazing band, they know how to make your feelings really be described in just a few words. You can just feel his emotion, his anger, his sadness in his voice as he sings the song.
