Grammar:

• I've been high and low

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense (experience/state)

  ➔ Uses "I've been" (I have been) to describe a past experience that has relevance to the present. It emphasizes the speaker's experience of both high and low periods.

• Searching for my love in all the wrong places

  ➔ Present Participle as Adjective

  ➔ "Searching" functions as an adjective modifying the subject (I - implied). It describes the ongoing action of looking for love.

• Word up on the streets is I got a bad reputation

  ➔ Informal Grammar/ Colloquialism

  ➔ This sentence uses informal language and grammar. The expected structure is: "The word on the streets is that I have a bad reputation." The speaker omits "that" and uses a more casual phrasing.

• I may have drew blood, but that was true love

  ➔ Modal Verb + Perfect Infinitive (may have done)

  ➔ "May have drew" (should be 'drawn') is used to express a possibility or uncertainty about a past action. However, "drew" is grammatically incorrect; it should be "drawn".

• Every time I go right, everything goes wrong

  ➔ Subordinating conjunction "every time" (adverbial clause of time)

  ➔ "Every time" introduces a clause that modifies the main clause, indicating when the main clause event occurs. It highlights the repeated nature of the sequence.

• And I self-destruct when I’m close to love

  ➔ Zero Conditional (general truth/habit)

  ➔ This sentence expresses a general truth or a habitual action. The structure is "if/when + present simple, present simple." It describes a predictable consequence.

• If I told you once I’ve told you a million times

  ➔ Mixed Conditional / Hyperbole

  ➔ While seemingly a conditional sentence, it's more accurately a statement of emphasis using hyperbole. "A million times" isn't literal; it's used to exaggerate the number of times the speaker has said something. Grammatically, it vaguely resembles a third conditional but lacks the consequence.

• I just can't live like this forever

  ➔ Modal Verb of Inability (can't)

  ➔ "Can't" expresses the speaker's inability or unwillingness to continue living in the current situation. It shows a strong desire for change.
