Grammar:

• I lie awake at night

  ➔ Present Simple Tense (habitual action)

  ➔ Using the present simple tense to describe a recurring action or habit. The speaker regularly lies awake at night.

• I've only got you inside my mind

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense (with 'only' modifying 'got')

  ➔ The phrase "I've ""got"" you" uses the present perfect tense to indicate a state that began in the past and continues to the present. ""Only"" emphasizes that the speaker has nothing else but the person in their thoughts.

• You know you have made me blind

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense (cause and effect)

  ➔ Uses the present perfect to show the result of an action that started in the past and continues to affect the present: The person ""has made"" the speaker blind (metaphorically).

• Like I never ever loved no one before you

  ➔ Negative Concord (Non-standard, but emphatic)

  ➔ The use of ""never"", ""no one"" creates a double negative. While grammatically incorrect in standard English, it's used for emphasis, conveying a strong feeling. Standard English would be "Like I have never loved anyone before you".

• Just tell me you love me too

  ➔ Imperative Sentence (with 'just' for emphasis)

  ➔ ""Tell"" me you love me too" is an imperative sentence, a command or request. The word ""just"" softens the command and adds a pleading tone.

• Let me inside

  ➔ Imperative Sentence (with 'let' structure)

  ➔ ""Let"" me inside" is an imperative sentence, but using the ""let"" structure makes it a request or a plea rather than a direct command. It's a polite way of asking for permission.

• Make me stay right beside you

  ➔ Imperative Sentence (with causative 'make')

  ➔ ""Make"" me stay" is an imperative sentence using the causative verb ""make"". It's a request for someone to cause the speaker to stay, highlighting a lack of agency.

• And sometimes I think I hear you call

  ➔ Complex Sentence (main clause + subordinate clause)

  ➔ The sentence is complex, consisting of a main clause ""And sometimes I think"" and a subordinate clause ""I hear you call"". The subordinate clause is the object of the verb ""think"".
