POV – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
I'm getting tired of asking
This is the final time
So did I make you happy?
Because you cried an ocean
When there's thousand lines
About the way you smile
Written in my mind
But every single words a lie
I never wanted everything to end this way
But you can take a blue sky and turn it gray
I swore to you that I would do my best to change
But you said it don't matter
I'm looking at you from another point of view
I don't how the hell I fell in love with you
I'd never wish for anyone to feel the way I do
...
Is this a sign from heaven
Showing me the light
Was this supposed to happen
I'm better off without you
So you can leave tonight
And don't you dare come back and try to make things right
'Cause I'll be ready for a fight
I never wanted everything to end this way
But you can take a blue sky and turn it gray
I swore to you that I would do my best to change
But you say it don't matter
I'm looking at you from another point of view
I don't how the hell I fell in love with you
I'd never wish for anyone to feel the way I do
...
I never wanted everything would end this way
But you can take a blue sky and turn it gray
I swore to you that I would do my best to change
But you say it don't matter
I'm looking at you from another point of view
I don't how the hell I fell in love with you
I'd never wish for anyone to feel the way I do
And you say and you say and you say
I do
And you say and you say and you say
Do
And you say it don't matter
I do
And you say and you say and you say
Do
And you say and you say and you say
I do
And you say it don't matter
I do
And you say and you say and you say
Do
And you say and you say and you say
I do
And you say it don't matter
And you say and you say and you say
And you say and you say and you say
And you say it don't matter
...

Key Grammar Structures
-
So did I make you happy?
➔ Inversion in Questions
➔ The auxiliary verb "did" precedes the subject "I" to form a question in the past simple tense. This is standard question formation.
-
Because you cried an ocean
➔ Hyperbole
➔ The phrase "cried an ocean" is a hyperbole, an exaggeration used for emphasis. It means the person cried a lot.
-
When there's thousand lines
➔ Ellipsis and Subject-Verb Agreement (informal)
➔ Technically, it should be "When there *are* thousands of lines." The shortened form "there's" (there is) is grammatically incorrect with "thousand lines" (plural), but it's common in informal speech and song lyrics. The word 'are' is removed (elision).
-
But every single words a lie
➔ Subject-Verb Agreement (incorrect, informal)
➔ It should be "word *is* a lie." This is grammatically incorrect, likely for stylistic effect in the song. "Every single word" is singular and requires a singular verb.
-
I never wanted everything to end this way
➔ Complex Sentence with Infinitive Phrase
➔ This sentence contains a main clause ("I never wanted") and an infinitive phrase acting as the object of the verb "wanted" ("everything to end this way"). The structure is [Subject + Verb + (Object + Infinitive phrase)].
-
But you can take a blue sky and turn it gray
➔ Modal Verb "can" and Coordination
➔ "can" expresses ability. The word "and" connects two verb phrases: "take a blue sky" and "turn it gray". This shows what the subject is capable of doing.
-
I swore to you that I would do my best to change
➔ Reported Speech with "that" clause
➔ This sentence uses reported speech, where the speaker is reporting what they swore. The word "that" introduces the subordinate clause containing the content of the oath: "I would do my best to change." Note the backshift in tense ('would' instead of 'will').
-
I don't how the hell I fell in love with you
➔ Indirect Question (incorrect, informal)
➔ This is grammatically incorrect. It should be "I don't *know* how the hell I fell in love with you." The verb "know" is missing. Also, the word order in the embedded question should be subject-verb ("I fell") not auxiliary-subject-verb (like a direct question).
