Another fight where no one wins again

'Cause we don't care if we're careful anymore

So you hurt me and then I hurt you back

...

Do you remember how tangled we got in our feelings?

Caught up on the small things

And I know I thought that pain's a part of love

But I think I broke you, though I didn't mean to

...

But are you happy looking back at us

When you met me?

Would you go back and tell yourself to leave it

Knowing what we know?

Or are you happy that we happened in our twenties?

So you know what you want isn't with me

Would you go back and tell yourself to leave it

Knowing how it goes?

Or are you happy that we happened? Ah

...

Ah, ah, ah

...

You taught me how to let somebody in

And how to let go of someone you love

To fall apart and then get up again

...

'Cause I remember how deeply we fell in our feelings

Head first without reason

And I know I thought that pain's a part of love

But I think you broke me, though you didn't mean to

...

But are you happy looking back at us

When you met me?

Would you go back and tell yourself to leave it

Knowing what we know?

Or are you happy that we happened in our twenties?

So you know what you want isn't with me

Would you go back and tell yourself to leave it

Knowing how it goes? (How it goes)

Or are you happy that we happened? Ah

...

Ah, ah, ah

Are you happy that we happened? Ah

Ah, ah, ah

...

Are you happy looking back at us

When you met me?

Would you go back and tell yourself to leave it

Knowing what we know?

Or are you happy that we happened? Ah

Key Grammar Structures

• Cause we don't care if we're careful anymore

  ➔ Zero conditional

  ➔ The "zero conditional" is used for general truths or habits. Here, "if we're careful" describes a habitual situation with the present simple "care".

• So you hurt me and then I hurt you back

  ➔ Past simple tense

  ➔ "So" introduces a result. The "past simple" tense indicates completed actions in the past: "hurt" and "hurt" describe separate, sequential events.

• Caught up on the small things

  ➔ Past participle in past continuous

  ➔ The "past participle" "caught" is part of the "past continuous" tense, implying an ongoing past action. "Caught up on" means preoccupied with trivial matters at that time.

• I think I broke you, though I didn't mean to

  ➔ Though for concession

  ➔ "Though" introduces a concession, contrasting the main action. "I didn't mean to" uses past simple with negation to express unintended intent.

• Would you go back and tell yourself to leave it

  ➔ Second conditional

  ➔ The "second conditional" uses "would" for hypothetical situations in the present/future. "Would you go back" speculates about changing the past to advise oneself.

• Knowing what we know

  ➔ Gerund after preposition

  ➔ The "gerund" "knowing" follows the preposition "after", functioning as a noun. It implies awareness based on current knowledge.

• To fall apart and then get up again

  ➔ Infinitive of purpose

  ➔ The "infinitive of purpose" "to fall apart" explains why something was taught. "And then" shows sequence in rebuilding after breakdown.

• Head first without reason

  ➔ Adverb phrases modifying adverbs

  ➔ "Head first" is an "adverb phrase" describing how they "fell"—recklessly. "Without reason" adds the adverb "without" reason, emphasizing lack of logic.

• You taught me how to let somebody in

  ➔ Indirect object with infinitive

  ➔ The "indirect object" "me" receives the action, with "how to let" showing the infinitive clause as the direct object taught.
