Grammar:

• There's a fire starting in my heart

  ➔ There is + noun phrase (fire) + present participle (starting)

  ➔ Uses the existential 'there is' to introduce the subject (a fire). 'Starting' is a present participle functioning as an adjective, describing the fire as being in the process of starting.

• Finally I can see you crystal clear

  ➔ Adverb of manner (crystal clear) modifying the verb 'see'

  ➔ 'Crystal clear' is an adverbial phrase that describes *how* the speaker can see the other person. It means clearly and without any doubt.

• Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare

  ➔ Imperative (Go ahead) + future simple ('I'll lay')

  ➔ The first clause uses an imperative 'Go ahead and sell me out', encouraging the action. The second clause 'I'll lay your shit bare' uses the future simple 'I'll' to express a consequence or promise in response to the action.

• See how I'll leave with every piece of you

  ➔ Subordinate clause with 'how' + future simple ('I'll leave')

  ➔ The clause 'how I'll leave with every piece of you' functions as a noun clause, showing *the manner* in which the speaker will leave. 'I'll leave' uses the future simple to express a future action.

• Don't underestimate the things that I will do

  ➔ Negative imperative ('Don't underestimate') + relative clause ('that I will do')

  ➔ 'Don't underestimate' is a negative command, telling someone not to do something. 'That I will do' is a relative clause modifying 'the things', specifying which things should not be underestimated. 'Will do' uses the future simple to express a future action.

• The scars of your love remind me of us

  ➔ Noun phrase ('The scars of your love') as subject + simple present tense ('remind')

  ➔ The sentence structure is straightforward, with the noun phrase 'The scars of your love' acting as the subject. The verb 'remind' is in the simple present tense, indicating a general truth or recurring action.

• They keep me thinking that we almost had it all

  ➔ Subject + 'keep' + object + present participle ('thinking') + 'that'-clause

  ➔ 'Keep' here means 'cause to remain in a specified state or condition.' 'Thinking' is a present participle describing the state. The 'that'-clause ('that we almost had it all') is the object of 'thinking'. It is an example of a noun clause acting as the object of a verb.

• Baby, I have no story to be told

  ➔ Infinitive of purpose ('to be told') modifying 'story'
