Grammar:

• If she holla, if-if, if she holla, let her go

  ➔ Conditional sentences (Type 0/1)

  ➔ Uses the basic structure of a conditional sentence: "If" + simple present, simple present (Type 0, general truth) or "If" + simple present, simple future/imperative (Type 1, real possibility). Here, it's likely Type 1, suggesting that *if* she yells (holla), *then* let her go.

• She's indecisive, she can't decide

  ➔ Contraction ('s = is) and Modal verb ('can't')

  ➔ "She's" is a contraction of "she is". "Can't" is a modal verb indicating inability. *She's* indecisive because *she can't* decide.

• You seem like the type to love 'em and leave 'em

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose ('to love')

  ➔ "To love 'em and leave 'em" functions as the purpose or characteristic of the "type" of person being described. It explains why she is that kind of person.

• Please don't waste my time, time, time, time, time

  ➔ Imperative sentence (negative form)

  ➔ "Don't waste my time" is a negative imperative, giving a direct command *not* to do something. "Please" softens the command.

• I wish our hearts could come together as one

  ➔ Wish clause (unreal past)

  ➔ Uses "wish + past subjunctive" to express a desire for something that is not currently true or possible. The fact that the hearts are not together is implied.

• Let me show you what you're missing, paradise

  ➔ Relative clause (what you're missing)

  ➔ "What you're missing" functions as a noun clause, acting as the object of the verb "show". It refers to the thing that the person is currently lacking or not experiencing, which the speaker identifies as 'paradise'.
