Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Been on both sides of a heartbreak

I tried to do right to some wrong things, mm

I've been through hell and back again

Fought for us and lost some friends

Just to find where I should've been

All I know is in the end

Gonna love you like I'll lose you

Gonna love you like I'll lose you

Just like every single night is the last one

And every kiss is too

Gonna love you like I'll lose you

But girl, I'll never lose you, no

Look up at the stars, girl, we're written in

Stayin' lost in your eyes, oh, I never knew

And girl, we're winning with the cards we were handed

I swear I'm never gonna take you for granted

No, I'm never gonna take you for granted, no

Gonna love you like I'll lose you

Gonna love you like I'll lose you (lose you, baby)

Just like every single night is the last one

And every kiss is too

Gonna love you like I'll lose you

But girl, I'll never lose you, no

...

But girl, I'll never lose you

...

Gonna love you like I'll lose you

But girl, I'll never lose you

Every single day (day)

Every single night (night)

I'ma do my best to get it right

Every single day (day)

Every single night (night)

Baby, for the rest of our lives

Gonna love you like I'll lose you

Gonna love you like I'll lose you

But girl, I'll never lose you, no

...

But girl, I'll never lose you

...

Gonna love you like I'll lose you

But girl, I'll never lose you, no

...

Key Grammar Structures

• Been on both sides of a heartbreak

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous/Perfect Simple

  ➔ Uses "been" (past participle of "be") combined with the preposition "on" to indicate experience or duration. Either the Present Perfect Simple or Continuous could be used here, implying an action that started in the past and continues to the present. The focus is on the experience of being in different emotional states.

• I tried to do right to some wrong things, mm

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ "To do right" functions as an infinitive of purpose, explaining the intention behind trying. The phrase signifies the attempt to make amends or behave morally in relation to negative situations.

• I've been through hell and back again

  ➔ Present Perfect Simple

  ➔ Uses the Present Perfect to describe a completed experience. "Been through" indicates the speaker has survived a difficult situation.

• Fought for us and lost some friends

  ➔ Past Simple (Parallel Structure)

  ➔ Uses the Past Simple for two related actions, emphasizing the cause-and-effect relationship: the speaker fought and, as a consequence, lost friends. The actions are parallel.

• Gonna love you like I'll lose you

  ➔ Future (Going to), Conditional

  ➔ "Gonna" is a colloquial form of "going to", expressing future intention. The phrase also implies a conditional clause, the love is expressed as if the person might be lost.

  ➔ Present Simple (habitual/general truth)

  ➔ Uses Present Simple to describe a habitual state or a general truth. It emphasizes the intensity of feeling, as if each night has the same significance as the last.

• And every kiss is too

  ➔ Subject-Verb Agreement, Adverb "too"

  ➔ Demonstrates subject-verb agreement (singular subject "kiss" with singular verb "is") and the use of "too" as an adverb, meaning "also" or "as well", in this case implying a similar intensity as the previous line's sentiment.

• Look up at the stars, girl, we're written in

  ➔ Imperative, Passive voice

  ➔ Uses the imperative "Look up" followed by a statement in the passive voice. The passive voice ("we're written in") emphasizes the state of being inscribed or destined together.

• I swear I'm never gonna take you for granted
