So I let you get away with murder baby
➔ Causative verb + bare infinitive (let)
➔ The verb "let" is a causative verb that is followed directly by the bare infinitive "get".

I was so sure I could save you
➔ Modal verb + infinitive (could save)
➔ "could" is a past‑tense modal verb that is followed by the infinitive "save".
-
But now I can't remember why I tried to
➔ Negative contraction + verb + infinitive (can't remember) + indirect question (why I tried)
➔ "can't" is the contraction of "cannot". The verb "remember" takes the infinitive "to" (omitted here) and the clause "why I tried" is an indirect question.

-
Wonder wonder wonder if you always knew I'd be better
➔ Second conditional (if + past simple, would + base verb)

I know that you're scared you don't know the when or the where to go
➔ Noun clause with "that" + indirect question (the when, the where)
