[English]

Yeah

If you could see my heart

Look deep into my soul and feel this pain

I promise you won't look at me the same

Even when the sun shine bright, I feel it rain

I lost so much, felt like this shit won't end

Go through the cycles over and over again

No more losses, if you could see my heart

Look deep into my soul and feel this pain (feel this pain)

I promise you won't look at me the same (me the same)

Even when the sun shine bright, I feel it rain (feel it rain)

I lost so much, felt like this shit won't end (oh shi-)

Seen so many leads, some you wouldn't believe

Some I couldn't believe it too

When they get what they want, they forget what they need

And usually it's you

A part of me understand, then a part of me don't

I'm a Gemini, it's true

I ain't saying I'm perfect, but I have imperfections

I apologize, it's true

Ever let me down, this time around

When I cut you off, we through

I ain't playing no more, like a gift from a bar

I'ma put it all to use

I'ma go for it all, ain't no prison ball

I ain't never calling truce

Gotta tighten it up, money, I'm putting it up

I ain't got no time to lose at all

If you could see my heart

Look deep into my soul and feel this pain

I promise you won't look at me the same

Even when the sun shine bright, I feel the rain

I lost so much, felt like this shit won't end

Go through the cycles over and over again

And no more losses, here's my time to win

Yeah-yeah

Look deep into my soul and feel this pain

I promise you won't look at me the same

Even when the sun shine bright, I feel it rain

I lost so much, felt like this shit won't end

Key Grammar Structures

• If you could see my heart

  ➔ Second conditional

  ➔ The structure "If you could see" uses the second conditional to express a hypothetical or unlikely situation. "Could" is the past form of "can" used here to indicate unreality.

• Look deep into my soul and feel this pain

  ➔ Imperative mood

  ➔ The sentence begins with the base form of the verb "Look" without a subject, which is characteristic of the imperative mood used to give commands or make requests.

• I promise you won't look at me the same

  ➔ Future simple with 'will'

  ➔ The structure "you won't look" uses the future simple tense with "will not" (contracted as "won't") to express a future certainty or promise.

• Even when the sun shine bright, I feel it rain

  ➔ Present simple for poetic effect

  ➔ The line uses "shine" instead of the grammatically standard "shines" in the present simple tense. This artistic choice creates a poetic or colloquial effect, common in song lyrics.

• I lost so much, felt like this shit won't end

  ➔ Mix of past simple and present tense

  ➔ The sentence combines the past simple "I lost" with a present tense structure "won't end" to express a past event that continues to have present consequences, creating a sense of ongoing suffering.

• When they get what they want, they forget what they need

  ➔ Zero conditional for general truths

  ➔ The structure "When they get..., they forget..." uses the zero conditional (present simple in both clauses) to express a general truth or habitual action that always happens when certain conditions are met.

• I ain't saying I'm perfect, but I have imperfections

  ➔ Informal negation with 'ain't' and contrast conjunction

  ➔ The line uses "ain't saying" as an informal negation instead of the standard "am not saying". The conjunction "but" introduces a contrasting idea, creating a complex sentence structure.

• When I cut you off, we through

  ➔ Informal ellipsis and slang grammar

  ➔ The phrase "we through" uses informal ellipsis by omitting the verb "are" (standard form would be "we are through"). This colloquial grammar is common in spoken English and song lyrics.
