Grammar:

• Why You ever chose me Has always been a mystery

  ➔ 倒装（间接问句）和省略

  ➔ 短语“Why You ever chose me”用作名词性从句。 语序颠倒，就像一个直接问题。 使用省略号：“Why You ever chose me”代替“Why You have ever chosen me”。

• All my life I've been told I belong At the end of the line

  ➔ 现在完成时被动语态

  ➔ “I've been told”是现在完成时被动语态。 它表明被告知的行为发生在说话者生命中的某个时刻，并且继续具有相关性。

• With all the other not-quites

  ➔ 连字符形容词（复合形容词）

  ➔ “Not-quites”是一个复合形容词，通过用连字符连接“not”和“quite”来创建。 它用作描述名词的单个形容词，并且在指代人时通常是复数。

• Ever since You rescued me, You gave my heart a song to sing

  ➔ 过去时和目的不定式

  ➔ “Rescued”和“gave”是过去简单时，表示过去已完成的动作。 “To sing”是目的不定式，解释了*为什么* You gave my heart a song。

• Moses had stage fright When David brought a rock to a sword fight

  ➔ 过去时和时间状语从句（When）

  ➔ “Had”和“brought”都是过去简单时。 “When David brought a rock to a sword fight”是一个时间状语从句，指示摩西患有怯场*何时*。

• And if they all forget my name, well that's fine with me

  ➔ 条件句（类型 1）

  ➔ 这句话提出了一个 1 类条件句。 “If they all forget my name”表示一种可能的条件，“that's fine with me”表示可能的结果。
