Grammar:

• When you're all alone and feelin' down

  ➔ Conditional Clause with "when" + Present Continuous/Progressive aspect (feelin')

  ➔ This sentence uses "when" to introduce a time clause, specifying the condition under which the action in the main clause (implied: Come to me) should be taken. "Feelin' down" is a shortened form of "feeling down", showing the present continuous aspect, describing a current state.

• When there's nobody else around

  ➔ Existential "there is/are" (there's) + indefinite pronoun "nobody"

  ➔ "There's" is a contraction of "there is", used to indicate the existence of something. "Nobody" means no person, and "around" means present or nearby. The whole phrase describes a state of loneliness.

• I'm still waiting open-armed for you

  ➔ Present Continuous Tense ("I'm waiting") + Adverb of Manner ("open-armed")

  ➔ "I'm waiting" shows the action of waiting is ongoing. "Open-armed" describes how the waiting is being done, conveying a welcoming and receptive manner.

• 'Cause I will comfort you

  ➔ Future Simple with "will"

  ➔ "Will" indicates a future action or intention. In this case, it expresses the speaker's promise or assurance to provide comfort.

• When you've no one to turn to

  ➔ Reduced Relative Clause ("to turn to") acting as adjective, Present Perfect Tense contraction (you've)

  ➔ "You've" is a contraction of "you have", indicating the present perfect tense. "To turn to" is an infinitive phrase acting as a reduced relative clause, modifying "no one". The implied full clause would be "When you have no one *that you can* turn to."

• I will be here just for you

  ➔ Future Simple Tense ("will be") + Prepositional Phrase ("for you")

  ➔ "Will be" indicates a future state of being. "For you" specifies that the speaker's presence is intended to benefit the listener.

• I'm not one to pretend

  ➔ Use of "one" as a pronoun to refer to a type of person + Infinitive of purpose ("to pretend")

  ➔ "One" here functions as a pronoun representing a type of person. "To pretend" expresses the purpose of the speaker *not* being that type of person.
