Key Grammar Structures

Anh phe yêu nhiều còn em phe don't care
➔ Use of 'phe' as a noun to categorize sides/teams/groups with distinct characteristics, in a colloquial way.
➔ Here, "phe" signifies a side or group. "Anh phe yêu nhiều" indicates the speaker's side is 'loving a lot', while "em phe don't care" signifies the other person's side doesn't care. It's used to contrast the emotional investment in the relationship.

➔ Use of "như" to express comparison. The structure "A như B" means "A is like B".
➔ "Anh như đặt cược em thì đứng xem" translates to "I'm like betting, and you're just watching". "như" compares the speaker's actions to betting, highlighting the risk he's taking.

Ngày em đồng ý trái tim anh cứ lớ ngớ lớ ngơ
➔ Reduplication/repetition of 'lớ ngớ' to emphasize the confused or flustered state.

➔ "Nói em Red flag em đổ bị bao lực mạng hành hung" translates to "Saying I'm a Red flag, I get cyberbullied." Here, "bị bao lực mạng hành hung" signifies that she is the recipient of cyberbullying. "bị" functions to show she is the victim of the action.

➔ Use of "Đâu phải" to express negation with emphasis, meaning "It's not like...".

-
Tưởng rằng tình mình giống destiny
➔ Use of "Tưởng rằng" to express a past belief that turned out to be incorrect. It's similar to "I thought that...".
➔ "Tưởng rằng tình mình giống destiny" translates to "I thought our love was like destiny." "Tưởng rằng" shows that the speaker previously believed the relationship was meant to be, but now realizes that wasn't the case.

Em trả lại câu yêu thương vu vơ lưa thưa y như cơn mưa rào
➔ Use of "y như" to compare the scattered nature of her affection to a light, scattered shower. "y như" means "just like" or "similar to."
➔ Here, "y như cơn mưa rào" (just like a passing shower) emphasizes the superficiality and transience of her love. Her affection is as fleeting and insubstantial as a brief rain shower.
