I think it's possible that the narrator is in love with this woman, but she doesn't feel the same way about him, or maybe she doesn't know that he loves her.
"I'm always standing in the shadows, baby I watched you give yourself away"
I think this means that the narrator knows that he is a better man than the one that she leaves with, but there's nothing he can do about it because she doesn't know about his feelings towards her.
"I tried to look the other way and fake it You push me to the limits I can't take it"
This might mean that when she is around, the narrator acts as though he doesn't have feelings for her, but inside he is going crazy. Just a thought. I'm amazed that more people don't know this song.
Lyrics
Somebody saw you at the station
You had your suitcase in your hand
You didn't give no information
You walked off with another man
I'm always standing in the shadows, baby
I watched you give yourself away
You take 'em home into your bedroom
You had another busy day
I tried to look the other way and fake it
You push me to the limits
I can't take it
One down, one to go
Just another bullet in the chamber
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
Red lights, stop and go
What you gonna do when you play with danger
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
And it shoots to kill
Someday they'll put me in a squad car
Someday they'll throw away the key
But 'til that day I'll be a mad dog
'Cause that's what you taught me to be
You looked into the eyes of men above you
I was the one who really tried to love you
One down, one to go
Just another bullet in the chamber
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
Red lights, stop and go
What you gonna do when you play with danger
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
And it shoots to kill
Pull the trigger
I tried to look the other way and fake it
You know, you push me right to the limit
I can't take it
One down, one to go
Just another bullet in the chamber
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
Red lights, stop and go
What you gonna do when you play with danger
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
One down, one to go
Just another bullet in the chamber
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
Red lights, stop and go
What you gonna do when you play with danger
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
Somebody saw you at the station
