Grammar:

• I don't usually do this but, um

  ➔ Adverb of Frequency

  ➔ The adverb "usually" indicates how often something happens. It's placed before the main verb "do" here.

• Yours, mine, ours

  ➔ Possessive Pronouns

  ➔ "Yours", "mine", and "ours" are possessive pronouns, indicating ownership. They stand alone, without a noun following.

• I wanna give you your flowers

  ➔ Contraction and Possessive Adjective

  ➔ "Wanna" is a contraction of "want to". "Your" is a possessive adjective modifying the noun "flowers".

• But it's me that gets devoured

  ➔ Cleft Sentence

  ➔ This sentence uses a cleft structure to emphasize "me". The standard sentence would be "But I get devoured". The "it's...that" construction highlights the speaker as the one being devoured.

• Usually don't like nobody

  ➔ Double Negative

  ➔ The phrase "don't like nobody" is a double negative, which, in standard English, would be corrected to "don't like anybody" or "like nobody". It's used here colloquially.

• Felt like givin' up on love

  ➔ Gerund after Preposition

  ➔ The word "giving" is a gerund, acting as a noun, and it follows the preposition "on". The full verb form would be "giving".

• When I met you, I knew this was it

  ➔ Past Simple and Past Tense of 'Be'

  ➔ "Met" is the past tense of "meet," and "was" is the past tense of the verb "be." Both indicate actions or states that occurred in the past.

• I pray for it on my knees

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase

  ➔ "On my knees" is a prepositional phrase, with "on" being the preposition and "my knees" being the object of the preposition. It modifies the verb "pray" by describing how the action is performed.
