Grammar:

• My whole world changed from the moment I met you

  ➔ Past Simple

  ➔ Uses the "past simple" to indicate a completed action in the past. "Changed" shows a definite point in the past when the world transformed.

• Felt like I knew that I always love you

  ➔ Past Simple, Past Continuous (implying)

  ➔ "Felt" is past simple, indicating a feeling at a point in the past. "Always love" implies a continuous feeling in the past, acting similar to past continuous in the implied sentence structure "I was always loving you".

• I'll be by your side 'til the day I die

  ➔ Future Simple Continuous with Time Clause

  ➔ "I'll be by your side" is future continuous, indicating a prolonged action in the future. "'til the day I die" is a time clause specifying when this future action ends.

• Something old, something new

  ➔ Ellipsis (Omission of 'is')

  ➔ This is an example of ellipsis. The verb "is" is omitted for a more concise and poetic effect. It's implied that "Something is old, something is new".

• Smiles by the thousands, your tears have all dried out

  ➔ Present Perfect, Quantifier ('by the thousands')

  ➔ "Have dried out" is present perfect, indicating a completed action with relevance to the present. "By the thousands" acts as a quantifier, indicating a large number.

• Sometimes wishes do come true

  ➔ Emphasis with Auxiliary Verb

  ➔ The use of "do" before "come" emphasizes the truth or certainty of the statement. It's a way to add force to the idea that wishes indeed come true.

• Always better than worse, protect you from the hurt

  ➔ Comparative Adjective, Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ "Better than worse" uses a comparative adjective. "Protect you from the hurt" implies "to protect you from the hurt", using the infinitive of purpose (implied 'to').
