[English]

Baby, if you're done with love, who's gonna hold you tonight?

...

Are you done with love so they can't hurt you tomorrow?

You don't wanna keep on swimming in the ocean you've cried

...

But I won't let you drown, I'll pull you back to the shallow

'Cause all I ever really wanted

In this short life was you

Tell me who took your heart away

And do you know it breaks mine when I hear you say

That you're done with love?

Oh, you are done with love

Give me one night to mend the pain

Because the second we touch, you'll forget the day

You were done with love

Oh, you were done with love

If you're done with love

...

Give me one night to mend the pain

Because the second we touch, you'll forget the day

You were done with love

Oh, you were done with love

...

All I ever really wanted

In this short life was you

All I ever really wanted

In this short life was you

...

Give me one night to mend the pain

Because the second we touch, you'll forget the day

You were done with love

Oh, you were done with love

If you're done with love

...

Give me one night to mend the pain

Because the second we touch, you'll forget the day

You were done with love

Oh, you were done with love

You think you're done with love

You think you're done with love

You think you're done with love

You think you're done with love

...

Key Grammar Structures

• Baby, if you're done with love, who's gonna hold you tonight?

  ➔ First conditional (if + present simple, future with "going to")

  ➔ The clause "if you're done with love" uses the present simple after "if" to express a possible condition, and "who's gonna" is a colloquial future with "going to".

• Are you done with love so they can't hurt you tomorrow?

  ➔ Modal verb "can" in negative form (can't) + purpose clause with "so"

  ➔ The negative modal "can't" shows inability, and the clause "so they can't hurt you tomorrow" expresses purpose.

• You don't wanna keep on swimming in the ocean you've cried

  ➔ Negative desire with "don't want to" + gerund after "keep on"; present perfect "you've cried"

  ➔ "don't wanna" is the informal negative form of "do not want to", followed by the gerund "keep on swimming"; "you've cried" is present perfect indicating a past action with present relevance.

• But I won't let you drown, I'll pull you back to the shallow

  ➔ Simple future with "will" (negative contraction "won't")

  ➔ "won't" is the contracted negative form of "will not", used here to express a future intention: "I won't let you drown".

• 'Cause all I ever really wanted In this short life was you

  ➔ Past simple (regular verb "wanted" and copula "was")

  ➔ "wanted" is the past simple form of "want", indicating a completed desire, and "was" links the subject to the complement "you".

• Tell me who took your heart away

  ➔ Imperative sentence + past simple verb "took"

  ➔ "Tell" is an imperative verb that gives a command, and "took" is the past simple form of "take".

• And do you know it breaks mine when I hear you say that you're done with love?

  ➔ Present simple question with auxiliary "do"; time clause with "when"

  ➔ "do you know" forms a present‑simple yes/no question using the auxiliary "do"; "when I hear" is a time clause introduced by "when".

• Give me one night to mend the pain because the second we touch, you'll forget the day

  ➔ Imperative + infinitive purpose clause (to + verb); future with "will" (you'll)

  ➔ "Give" is an imperative verb; "to mend" is an infinitive expressing purpose; "you'll forget" uses the future simple with "will" contracted as "you'll".

• You think you're done with love

  ➔ Present simple with stative verb "think"

  ➔ "think" is a stative verb that describes a mental state, so it is correctly used in the present simple: "You think".
