ALL OF YOUR FLAWS ARE ALIGNED WITH THIS MOOD OF MINE

-
I DIDN'T COME FOR A FIGHT BUT ILL FIGHT TILL THE END
➔ Past Negative + Future Contrast

-
YOU WANT TO KEEP ME CONCEALED LIKE I WAS A WEAPON
➔ Subjunctive Comparison

-
BUT I'M NO GOOD AT LIP SERVICE EXCEPT WHEN THEY'RE YOURS
➔ Exception Clause
