[English]

Promises that weren't met

I don't wanna regret

I just wanna forget with you

Way that I've never felt

So I think I could bet

It's not all in my head for you

(Show me what)

It's like to hold you

It's like to know you

It's like to love you

I know you want to

Say we won't fall through

Love me like you do

Like I'm the only one

Only way you run

You could make it known

When we're all alone

Why I'm the only one

Only way you run

You could make it known

When we're all alone

I'm the only one

Waiting up for your love

Think it's been long enough

You should go on and just set me free

Say it's me that you want

I been calling your bluff

Got me falling so dangerously

(Show me what)

It's like to hold you

It's like to know you

It's like to love you

I know you want to

Say you won't fall through

Love me like you do

Like I'm the only one

Only way you run

You could make it known

When we're all alone

Why I'm the only one

Only way you run

You could make it known

When we're all alone

I'm the only one

Cause you've made my heartbeat skip repeatedly

Right now, I'm incomplete

In this crowded room, you're all I see

It's time you show me

Why I'm the only one

Only way you run

You could make it known

When we're all alone

I'm the only one

Only way you run

You could make it known

When we're all alone

I'm the only one

Key Grammar Structures

• Promises that weren't met

  ➔ Past Passive Voice: 'weren't met'

  ➔ The verb 'met' is in the past participle form and is used in the passive voice with 'were'. 'Promises' are the subject and the action is done to them.

• I just wanna forget with you

  ➔ 'Wanna' contraction and prepositional phrase 'with you'

  ➔ 'Wanna' is a contraction of 'want to'. 'With you' is a prepositional phrase modifying the verb 'forget', specifying with whom the action is performed.

• Way that I've never felt

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense 'I've never felt'

  ➔ The present perfect tense 'I've never felt' is used to describe an experience that has not happened up to the present time.

• So I think I could bet

  ➔ Modal verb 'could'

  ➔ 'Could' expresses possibility or a degree of uncertainty about the future.

• Like I'm the only one

  ➔ Subjunctive mood ('I'm the only one' is a complement of 'like')

  ➔ 'Like' introduces a simile. The following clause, 'I'm the only one', creates a hypothetical situation, implying a feeling.

• Say we won't fall through

  ➔ Future Simple with 'won't' (will not)

  ➔ 'Won't' (will not) expresses a future action or state, often with a strong sense of determination or promise.

• Waiting up for your love

  ➔ Phrasal verb 'Waiting up'

  ➔ 'Waiting up' is a phrasal verb (wait + up) meaning to stay awake or not go to sleep to wait for someone or something.

• Think it's been long enough

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous or Simple, use of 'enough'

  ➔ The sentence could imply Present Perfect Continuous or Simple, but emphasizing the duration makes the continuous more fitting. 'Enough' functions as an adverb of degree, modifying 'long'.
