Grammar:
-
Sometimes I wish you knew
➔ Subjunctive mood (wish + past simple)
➔ Expresses a desire or regret about a situation that is different from reality. "I wish you knew" implies that the person doesn't know, and the speaker wants them to.
-
But I disguise the truth.
➔ Present simple tense
➔ Describes a habit or a general truth. The speaker regularly "disguises" the truth.
-
I say I'm happy, but I'm still stuck on us
➔ Present Simple (I say), Present Continuous (I'm still stuck), prepositional phrase (stuck on)
➔ "I say I'm happy" - states a current claim. "I'm still stuck on us" indicates that the speaker is currently and continuously thinking about or unable to move on from a past relationship. "Stuck on" means fixated or unable to forget.
-
Does your mind play this game too?
➔ Present simple tense (interrogative)
➔ Asks if the other person also experiences the same thought patterns. The "game" refers to dwelling on the past relationship.
-
I guess it's overdue
➔ Present Simple + adjective complement
➔ Suggests something should have happened earlier. "Overdue" modifies "it".
-
Tell me your point of view
➔ Imperative mood
➔ Direct instruction or request for the other person to share their perspective.
-
You are so good with change
➔ Present Simple + adjective complement with "with"
➔ "Good with" means skilled or comfortable dealing with. It implies the person adapts easily to changes.
-
Balloons are to deflated
➔ Incorrect Grammar. Should be 'balloons are too deflated' or 'balloons are deflated'
➔ Likely a grammatical error. "To" doesn't fit. "Too" indicates excess, while omitting both and just saying 'balloons are deflated' simply describes the state of the balloons
