[English]

What are we supposed to do?

After all that we've been through.

When everything that felt so right is wrong,

Now that the love is gone

There is nothing left to prove,

No use to deny this simple truth

Can't find the reason to keep holding on,

Now that the love is gone

There is nothing left to prove,

No use to deny this simple truth.

Can't find the reason to keep holding on,

Now that the love is gone

Love is gone

I feel so hurt inside,

Got to find the reason

What are we supposed to do?

After all that we've been through.

When everything that felt so right is wrong,

Now that the love is gone

There is nothing left to prove,

No use to deny this simple truth.

Can't find the reason to keep holding on,

Now that the love is gone

What are we supposed to do?

After all that we've been through.

When everything that felt so right is wrong,

Now that the love is gone.

There is nothing left to prove,

No use to deny this simple truth.

Can't find the reason to keep holding on,

Now that the love is gone

Key Grammar Structures

• What are we supposed to do?

  ➔ 'Be supposed to'

  ➔ The phrase "be supposed to" is used to talk about things that are expected or arranged to happen, or to indicate an obligation or a duty. Here, it asks about the expected or correct action.

• After all that we've been through.

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense

  ➔ The "present perfect" tense ("we've been through") is used to talk about experiences or actions that started in the past and continue up to the present, or whose effects are still relevant. "been through" often refers to experiencing difficulties.

• When everything that felt so right is wrong,

  ➔ Subordinating Conjunction 'When'

  ➔ "When" is used here as a "subordinating conjunction" to introduce a dependent clause that indicates a time or circumstance. The clause "When everything that felt so right is wrong" sets the condition for the main idea.

• Now that the love is gone

  ➔ Conjunction 'Now that'

  ➔ "Now that" is a "conjunction" used to mean "because now" or "given that". It introduces a reason or a new situation that affects what follows.

• There is nothing left to prove,

  ➔ 'There is/are' with 'left to'

  ➔ The structure "There is nothing "left to prove"" implies that no action or task "remains" to be completed. "Left" acts as a past participle modifying "nothing", and "to prove" is an infinitive of purpose.

• No use to deny this simple truth

  ➔ 'No use to do/doing something'

  ➔ The expression "no use "to deny" something" (or more commonly "no use "denying" something") means that it is pointless, futile, or ineffective to perform that action. Here, it implies that denying the truth is useless.

• Can't find the reason to keep holding on,

  ➔ 'Keep + Gerund'

  ➔ The structure "keep + "holding on" (verb-ing)" is used to indicate that an action continues or is repeated, often implying persistence or a continuous state. "Holding on" means continuing to endure or maintain a grasp.

• I feel so hurt inside,

  ➔ Linking Verb + Past Participle as Adjective

  ➔ "Feel" is a "linking verb" connecting the subject ("I") to an adjective that describes its state or quality. Here, "hurt" is a "past participle" used as an adjective to describe the speaker's emotional state.

• Got to find the reason

  ➔ Informal 'got to' (from 'have got to')

  ➔ "Got to" is an "informal" way of saying "have to" or "must", indicating an obligation or necessity. It is a common colloquial contraction of "have got to".
