Grammar:

• If someone told me that the world would end tonight

  ➔ Second Conditional

  ➔ Uses "If + past simple, would + infinitive" to describe hypothetical or unlikely situations in the present or future. "told" is past simple and "would end" uses 'would' with the infinitive.

• one thing I'm never gonna do

  ➔ Future with "gonna"

  ➔ "gonna" is a colloquial contraction of "going to". Used to express future intentions or predictions. Equivalent to "I am never going to do".

• Oh, Lord, don't try me, really, not tonight

  ➔ Imperative (Negative)

  ➔ "Don't try me" is a negative imperative. It's a command telling someone *not* to do something. Imperatives use the base form of the verb.

• We've already wasted enough time

  ➔ Present Perfect

  ➔ "We've wasted" (We have wasted) uses the present perfect to describe an action that started in the past and has relevance to the present. "already" emphasizes the completion of the action.

• I want my life to be a Whitney Houston song

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ The infinitive "to be" expresses the purpose or intention of wanting one's life to be like something. "I want my life" is the subject, and "to be a Whitney Houston song" explains the desired outcome.

• Don't care if I belong, no

  ➔ Ellipsis and Conditional Clause

  ➔ There's an ellipsis here; the implied subject is "I" and the verb is "do", so it means "I don't care if I belong". Also, "if I belong" is a conditional clause introduced by 'if'.

• If I could kill the thing that makes us all so dumb

  ➔ Second Conditional with Relative Clause

  ➔ Uses "If + past simple, would + infinitive" again for the second conditional. "could kill" is past simple. Also includes a relative clause "that makes us all so dumb" modifying "the thing".
