Key Grammar Structures

• He keeps leaving you for dead,

• I don't know what you've been waiting for

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous

  ➔ The use of **'have been waiting'** highlights an action that started in the past and continues up to the present time, often with an emphasis on the duration of the action.

• But somethin' better's waiting at your door

  ➔ Contraction ('s) - Present Simple or Present Continuous (depending on context)

  ➔ The **'s** in better's is a contraction of 'is', using present simple or present continuous. Based on the context it is likely using present continuous to express something happening at the moment.

• You don't know your worth

  ➔ Present Simple - Negative

  ➔ The use of **'don't know'** indicates a negative statement about a general truth or a habitual action. It's a very common structure in English.

• Say it's not real if it doesn't hurt

  ➔ Conditional Sentence Type 0 / Imperative

  ➔ This sentence uses the conditional type 0 (**if it doesn't hurt,**) to express a general truth and the imperative (**Say**) to give advice or make a suggestion.

• Find someone you know will put you first

  ➔ Future Simple with 'will' and relative clause

  ➔ This sentence combines the future simple tense (**will put**) to express a future action and a relative clause (**you know**) to provide additional information. It is a complex sentence.

• Find someone who loves you at your worst

  ➔ The relative clause **'who loves you at your worst'** modifies the noun **'someone'**, providing more information about them. It's a crucial part of the sentence's meaning.

• Gotta keep, gotta keep, gotta keep your head up

  ➔ Informal use of 'got to' - modal verb expressing necessity, repeated for emphasis.

  ➔ This uses the informal contraction **'gotta'** (got to), to express an obligation or necessity. The repetition is for emphasis and stylistic effect, making the phrase more impactful.
