Grammar:

• I'll be coming home just to be alone

  ➔ Future Continuous Tense

  ➔ Use of "will be + -ing" to describe an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future. Here, it expresses the speaker's intention to be in the process of coming home.

• No matter how hard I try, you're never satisfied

  ➔ "No matter how" clause

  ➔ "No matter how" introduces a concessive clause, meaning regardless of the degree of effort. It emphasizes that the speaker's efforts are consistently unsuccessful.

• This is not our home, I think I'm better off alone

  ➔ Comparative adjective + "off"

  ➔ "Better off" means in a more advantageous or favorable situation. "I'm better off alone" expresses the speaker's belief that they would be happier or more comfortable being alone.

• You always disappear, even when you're here

  ➔ Adverb of frequency + Simple Present Tense

  ➔ "Always" (adverb of frequency) is used with the simple present tense to describe a habitual action. It indicates that the person's emotional or mental absence is a constant occurrence, even when physically present.

• By the time you come home, I'm already stoned

  ➔ "By the time" clause + Future Perfect/Present Perfect

  ➔ "By the time" indicates that one action will be completed before another occurs. In this case, being "stoned" (under the influence of drugs) will be completed before the other person arrives home. The present simple is used in the 'by the time' clause, even though it has a future meaning.
