• Qué desgastante intentar volver a ser los de antes

  ➔ Infinitive phrases after adjectives; 'los de antes' (the ones from before)

• Quisiera borrar de mi cuerpo el tatuaje que hicieron tus besos

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (Quisiera); Relative clauses (que hicieron tus besos)

  ➔ "Quisiera" is the imperfect subjunctive of "querer", expressing a wish or desire in a polite or softened way. "Que hicieron tus besos" is a relative clause modifying "el tatuaje", specifying which tattoo is being talked about.

• Volver ese día que pude tocarte y no haberlo hecho

  ➔ Past Perfect Subjunctive (no haberlo hecho); relative clause ('que pude tocarte')

  ➔ "No haberlo hecho" (not having done it) uses the past perfect subjunctive to express regret about not doing something in the past. "Que pude tocarte" is a relative clause modifying "ese día" which provides context. This clause means 'that I was able to touch you'

• De este amor nadie se va como llegó

  ➔ Impersonal 'se' (se va); 'como' meaning 'as' or 'like'

  ➔ "Se va" uses the impersonal 'se', indicating that nobody *leaves* this love the same way they arrived. "Como llegó" means 'as they arrived' or 'the way they arrived'.

• Te di mi mejor versión y tú a mí no

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of verb)

• Y yo me quedo loca porque aún te quiero

  ➔ Use of "aún" (still)

  ➔ "Aún" means "still", indicating that despite everything, the speaker still loves the other person. It emphasizes the persistence of her feelings.

• Lo más justo es repartirnos el dolor en partes iguales sin años colaterales

  ➔ Superlative + 'es' + infinitive

• Porque esta garra la verdad que no lo vale

  ➔ Use of "la verdad que" for emphasis.
