[English]

Hey boo,

I miss you.

So

I made this for you.

Does your heart grow fonder of the

distance from me?

Your shoulder gets colder the closer you

get to her.

It's like a walking lighter every time

that you leave.

Tell me why that goodbye felt so heavy

on me.

I'm losing you and I know I'm losing

you. There's nothing I can do about it.

I'm losing you. But I love it. I'm

losing you. There's nothing I can do to

push you further away.

Come between and you're finally catching

the signals from me.

Your stories get short and the details

begin to blur.

I keep it surface

while your lips face.

Tell me why. Now my life left a stain on

your teeth.

I'm losing but I know it. I'm losing.

There's nothing I can do about it.

I'm losing it. I'm losing. There's

nothing I can further

call me break.

Oh, through my heart

you

won't let it die. I'm losing you and I

know it. I'm losing. There's nothing I

can do about it.

I'm losing but I know it. I'm losing.

There's nothing I can do to push you

away.

I don't want to be right again.

If it feels wrong, you can say no.

I don't want to do something you're not

ready for. Time is just not enough

reason.

It would just be better if you felt

nothing for me.

It would just be better if we never met.

What hurts the most

is we almost for

what hurts the most.

Yes, I know. I felt what I felt.

What am I supposed to do?

Clearly so in love with you.

Ignorance is this. Wish we kissed.

Key Grammar Structures

• Does your heart grow "fonder" of the distance from me?

  ➔ Comparative adjective (fonder) with the preposition of

  ➔ The word "fonder" is the comparative form of "fond" and is followed by the preposition "of" to show what the heart is becoming more fond of.

• Your shoulder gets "colder" the "closer" you get to her.

  ➔ Correlative comparative structure: the + comparative … the + comparative

  ➔ "colder" and "closer" are two comparative adjectives linked by the correlative "the…the" pattern, showing a cause‑and‑effect relationship.

• "Tell me" why that goodbye felt so heavy on me.

  ➔ Imperative clause followed by an embedded (indirect) question

  ➔ The verb "Tell" is in the imperative mood, and it introduces an indirect question "why that goodbye felt so heavy on me".

• I'm "losing" you and I know I'm "losing" you.

  ➔ Present continuous (progressive) for ongoing actions

  ➔ "losing" is the present‑participle form of "lose" used with the auxiliary "am" to form the present continuous, indicating a process that is happening now.

• There’s "nothing" I can do about it.

  ➔ Modal verb "can" + infinitive to express ability/possibility

  ➔ "can" is a modal verb followed by the infinitive "do"; together they mean that the speaker lacks the ability or option to act.

• "Come" between and you're finally "catching" the signals from me.

  ➔ Imperative verb "Come" used as a command; present participle "catching" as part of the progressive aspect

  ➔ "Come" is a direct command to the listener. "Catching" is the present‑participle of "catch" used with "are" (contracted to "'re") to make the progressive "are catching".

• "If" it feels wrong, you can say no.

  ➔ First conditional (real possibility) – if + present simple, will/can + base verb

  ➔ "If" introduces a real condition. The clause "it feels wrong" uses the present simple, and the result clause uses the modal "can" plus the base verb "say".

• "It would just be better" if you "felt" nothing for me.

  ➔ Second conditional (unreal present) – would + base verb, if + past simple

  ➔ "It would just be better" uses the modal "would" to talk about a hypothetical situation. The subordinate clause "if you felt" uses the past simple "felt" to indicate unreality.

• "I don't want" to be right again.

  ➔ Verb + infinitive after "want"; negative form with "do not"

  ➔ "don't" is the contracted form of "do not" used for negation. After "want" the infinitive "to be" follows, forming "want to be".
