Needtobreathe's song "Bullets" reflects on the weight of past mistakes and the impossibility of undoing them. The lyrics use the metaphor of bullets that cannot be returned to a gun to express regret and the lasting consequences of choices. The singer acknowledges feeling overwhelmed and unable to carry the burden alone, hinting at a need for help. The song encourages not letting one's heart grow cold or bitter, suggesting a desire for healing and forgiveness. While not explicitly gospel, the themes of regret, brokenness, and the need for redemption align with Christian concepts of grace and restoration.

I'm too tired to worry
Oh, 'bout the way it was
I'm just trying to love you
So I don't have to clean it up
Oh, don't let your blood run cold
Don't let your heart be stoned
Don't be the bitter one
Oh, some things can't be undone
Some bullets that you chose
Can't go back in the gun
You can't put the bullets back into a gun
Can't undo what we have done
Can't break this heart of stone
You can't put the bullets back into a gun
Can't undo what we have done
Can't break this heart of stone
I ain't made to carry
All this weight on my own
Oh, it's way too heavy
And I can't be that strong
Oh, don't let your blood run cold
Don't let your heart be stoned
Don't be the bitter one
Oh, some things can't be undone
Some bullets that you chose
Can't go back in the gun
You can't put the bullets back into a gun
Can't undo what we have done
Can't break this heart of stone
You can't put the bullets back into a gun
Can't undo what we have done
Can't break this heart of stone
We put the bullets back into a gun
Can't undo what we have done
Can't break this heart of stone
We put the bullets back into a gun
Can't undo what we have done
Can't break this heart of stone
We can't put the bullets back into a gun
Can't undo what we have done
Can't break this heart of stone
Can't put the bullets back into a gun
Can't undo what we have done
Can't break this heart of stone
