Grammar:

• If I'm ever gonna fall in love, I know it's gon' be you

  ➔ First Conditional with future possibility using "gonna"

  ➔ The first conditional (If + present simple, will + infinitive) expresses a real possibility in the future. Here, "If I'm ever gonna fall in love" sets the condition, and "I know it's gon' be you" is the likely outcome. "Gonna" is a colloquial contraction of "going to".

• Met a lot of people, but nobody feels like you

  ➔ Contrast using "but"

  ➔ "But" is a coordinating conjunction used to show a contrast or opposition between two ideas. The sentence expresses that the speaker has met many people, *but* none of them have the same emotional impact as the person they are addressing.

• I know how it starts, trust me, I've been broken before

  ➔ Present Perfect tense ("I've been broken")

  ➔ The present perfect tense "I've been broken" (have/has + past participle) expresses an action that started in the past and has a connection to the present. Here, it emphasizes the speaker's past experience of being hurt, which influences their present feelings and plea.

• I'm so scared to fall in love, but if it's you, then I'll try

  ➔ Conditional sentence (mixed type, implication of unreality)

  ➔ While not a perfect example of a textbook mixed conditional, this sentence expresses a reluctance based on a past experience, countered by a present willingness if the condition ('if it's you') is met. It's a nuanced conditional expressing a possibility, not a counterfactual.The "then" is optional but emphasizes the consequence.

• We both know my past speaks for itself

  ➔ Figurative language: Personification ("My past speaks for itself")

  ➔ Personification is giving human qualities to non-human things. Here, the "past" is given the ability to "speak," implying that it is evident and communicates its own story without needing further explanation.

• Then please don't let history repeat itself

  ➔ Imperative sentence with "let"

  ➔ "Let" is used to make a suggestion or give permission, but it can also be used in an imperative sentence to express a strong request or warning. Here, it expresses a plea to avoid a negative outcome.

• 'Cause I want you, yeah, I want you, yeah There's nothing else I want

  ➔ Emphasis using repetition and interjections ('yeah')

  ➔ The repetition of "I want you, yeah, I want you, yeah" reinforces the speaker's strong desire. The interjection "yeah" further emphasizes the feeling and adds to the emotional intensity.
