Forever And One (Neverland)
Lyrics:
[English]
What can I do?
Will I be getting through?
Now that I must try
To leave it all behind
Did you see
What you have done to me?
So hard to justify
Slowly it's passing by
Forever and one
I will miss you
However, I kiss you
Yet again
Way down in Neverland
...
So hard I was trying
Tomorrow I'll still be crying
How could you hide
Your lies
Your lies
Here I am
Seeing you once again
My mind's so far away
My heart's so close to stay
Too proud to fight
I'm walking back into night
Will I ever find
Someone to believe?
Forever and one
I will miss you
However, I kiss you
Yet again
Way down in Neverland
So hard I was trying
Tomorrow I'll still be crying
How could you hide
Your lies
Your lies
...
Forever and one
I will miss you
However, I kiss you
Yet again
Way down in Neverland
So hard I was trying
Tomorrow I'll still be crying
How could you hide
Your lies
Your lies
Your lies
...

-
Will I be getting through?
➔ Future Continuous Tense (will be + verb-ing)
➔ Expresses an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future. Here, it expresses uncertainty about successfully overcoming a difficult situation in the future. The phrase "getting "through"" is also an important phrasal verb.

Did you see what you have done to me?
➔ Embedded question with Past Simple and Present Perfect
➔ "Did you see..." is Past Simple, referring to whether the person witnessed the speaker's suffering. "What you have done to me" is an embedded question using Present Perfect, focusing on the lasting impact of the other person's actions. This implies the damage continues to affect the speaker.
-
So hard to justify
