Grammar:

• I need a moment before I go

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (Implied)

  ➔ The phrase "before I go" implies a future action seen as uncertain. While not explicitly using the subjunctive, the context suggests a possibility, hence a subtle subjunctive mood. A more formal version would be something like "before *I am to* go", but the simpler form is more common.

• Cause even if they understand, They don’t understand

  ➔ Contradiction/Paradox

  ➔ This is a use of paradox. Even if they have comprehension of the situation (they understand), they can't truly understand the speaker's emotional state. It highlights the isolation of the speaker.

• I’m takin my misery, make it my bitch

  ➔ Imperative (Implied) / Figurative language (Personification)

  ➔ The phrase "make it my bitch" is an implied imperative. It's also personification of "misery", treating it as something that can be dominated. It expresses a very strong will to overcome difficulties.

• Can’t be everyone’s favourite girl

  ➔ Modal Verb (can't) with possessive adjective ('s)

  ➔ "Can't" expresses impossibility. "Everyone's" shows possession, meaning the favourite girl *of* everyone.

• I’ve never been so wide awake

  ➔ Present Perfect with Adverb of Degree ('so')

  ➔ "I’ve never been" uses the present perfect to describe an experience that continues to be relevant. "So wide awake" uses "so" to emphasize the state of being awake, indicating a very strong feeling of alertness.

• Cause I found out that I’m nothing by your side

  ➔ Noun Clause (that I’m nothing by your side) as object

  ➔ The clause introduced by "that" functions as the direct object of the verb "found out". It expresses the speaker's realization of their perceived worthlessness when in the relationship.

• I accept my flaws, cause I’m a human too

  ➔ Clause of Reason ("cause")

  ➔ "Cause" is used as an informal substitute for "because," introducing the reason why the speaker accepts their flaws.
