[English]

got me to stare.

Said that you need me.

Stop. Cuz his words

don't have a meaning. No, they don't.

Listen hard to me.

There'll be a day

I'll be more creative,

a poetic way

to say I'm not leaving to the world,

not to your face.

M

I'll take my pride

standing for you.

Now I'm not blind

just sing it through.

You take my life

just for the thrill

I'll take tonight and die on this hill.

I

always will.

I know that I look

stubborn and impatient.

But you wrote the book.

I just took a page out to be loved.

To be loved and nothing more. And you

kept your word.

Do you want to matter

the way that someone leaves this world?

So just love to me now. Oh

to me now.

I'll take my pride.

Standing for you.

I'm the blind

to see it through.

You take my life

just for the thrill.

I'll take tonight and die on this.

I

always will.

I'll be here all night. I'll be here cuz

I can. Yeah. I know you don't care. I

know nothing could matter. God, I wish

something matter to you.

I'll take my

stand for you.

Now I'm the blind

to see it through.

You take my life just for the thrill

now. I'll take tonight and die on this

I your ways

of

ways

are your ways.

Well,

Key Grammar Structures

• Said that you need me.

  ➔ Reported Speech

  ➔ The verb 'said' introduces reported speech. The tense shifts back one step – 'need' becomes 'need'. The structure is 'said + that + clause'.

• There'll be a day I'll be more creative,

  ➔ Future with 'will'

  ➔ Uses 'will' to express a future prediction or intention. The contraction 'There'll' is a shortened form of 'There will'.

• I just took a page out to be loved.

  ➔ Phrasal Verb ('take out')

  ➔ The phrasal verb 'take out' in this context means 'to extract or use a part of something'. It's not literal removal of a page, but borrowing an idea or approach.

• I'll be here all night. I'll be here cuz I can.

  ➔ Causal Conjunction ('cuz')

  ➔ 'Cuz' is an informal contraction of 'because'. It introduces the reason for being there – the ability to stay.

• God, I wish something matter to you.

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (wish)

  ➔ The 'wish' construction expresses a desire for something that is unlikely or impossible. The verb 'matter' is used in the base form after 'wish' to indicate this unreality.
