Grammar:

• She knows her daddy won't be back anymore

  ➔ 简单将来时 (否定): "won't be"

  ➔ 使用缩写 "won't" (will not) 来表达父亲不会再回来。这是一种表达关于未来的否定预测的标准方式。

• Tryna hold back time to keep him holding on

  ➔ 非正式缩写 "Tryna" (Trying to) + 短语动词 "hold back" + 目的状语 "to keep him holding on"

  ➔ "Tryna" 是 "trying to" 的一个非常非正式的缩写。 "Hold back" 意思是抑制。 目的状语说明了意图：她试图阻止时间，*以便*让他坚持下去（活着/和他们在一起）。

• Daddy daddy don't leave

  ➔ 祈使句 (否定): "Don't leave"

  ➔ 一个直接而情感化的恳求。 否定祈使句使用 "don't" + 动词原形来表达不要做某事的命令。

• I'll do anything to keep you Right here with me

  ➔ 简单将来时 "I'll do" + 目的不定式 "to keep you"

  ➔ "I'll do" 表达了一种承诺或愿意在将来采取行动。 不定式短语 "to keep you" 解释了做任何事的目的。

• Can't you see how much I need you

  ➔ 疑问句 + 嵌入式从句 "how much I need you"

  ➔ 这是一个问题 ("Can't you see?")，其中包含一个嵌入式从句，作为动词 "see" 的宾语。 该从句描述了她的需要的程度。

• Mommy's saying things she don't mean

  ➔ 现在进行时 "Mommy's saying" + 关系从句 "she don't mean"

  ➔ 使用现在进行时来描述现在正在发生的动作。 关系从句 "she don't mean" 修饰 "things" 并提供更多信息。 使用 "don't" 而不是 "doesn't" 在语法上是不正确的，但在非正式口语和歌曲歌词中很常见。

• Somebody hear me out

  ➔ 祈使句 (未指定主语)

  ➔ 向任何可能在听的人发出的绝望的恳求。 虽然没有明确说明主语，但它是隐含的。 说话者恳求任何人听她说话。

• Tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go

  ➔ 祈使句 "Tell him" + 间接引语 (that 从句) + 情态动词 "have to" (否定形式)

  ➔ 祈使句 "Tell him" 指示某人传递消息。 "that" 从句报告消息是什么。 "He don't have to go" 是 "he doesn't have to go" 的一种非正式说法，表达了一种没有义务。 同样，使用 "don't" 而不是 "doesn't" 在语法上是不正确的，但却是文体上的。

• There ain't no more time

  ➔ 双重否定 (非正式): "ain't no"

  ➔ "Ain't" 是一种非标准的缩写形式，通常用于非正式的口语或方言中，通常代替 "am not"、"is not"、"are not"、"has not" 或 "have not"。与 "no more time" 结合使用时，会产生双重否定，这在标准英语中通常被认为是不符合语法的，但在这里用于强调和产生情感效果。
