Discover the story of the song > Shot Me Down (feat Skylar Grey) – David Guetta

The song talks about a time when the protagonist was a child and played pretend with his partner. They would ride stick horses and have pretend fights, but his partner always won. However, as they grew up, his partner ended up hurting him by breaking their trust and possibly ending their relationship. The sound of the hurt was like a gunshot, and the protagonist uses the childhood game as a metaphor for the pain he feels.
