Lyrics:

[English]

Well she got a side

to her, I wanna run

from,

She'll turn a warm

afternoon

Into a cold, cold

one.

Well, he grabbed the apple

and I don't took a bite,

and now all these years later.

And the math still ain't right with a scornful woman

A scornful woman.

I used to sleep so

good, didn't have a

nightmare.

I was busy dreaming,

believing you's always gonna be right

there.

And now the middle

of the day

is like the middle

of the night.

And the court says 50

50,

but the math don't seem right with a scornful woman

A scornful woman.

Well, she can have all the money,

and they can keep all the fame.

I go back to being broke as a joke if I could just get a break from the pain.

Grammar:

Well she got a side to her, I wanna run from,

➔ Preposition at the end of a clause.

➔ Using "from" at the end of the clause "I wanna run from" is grammatically acceptable, although it can sometimes be considered less formal. A more formal structure would be "...a side from which I want to run."
Well, he grabbed the apple and I don't took a bite,

➔ Incorrect verb conjugation after the auxiliary verb "don't".

➔ The correct form should be "I didn't take a bite" or, colloquially, "I didn't take no bite". The use of "don't took" is grammatically incorrect. "Didn't take" is past simple negative
I used to sleep so good, didn't have a nightmare.

➔ Use of "so" as an intensifier before an adjective or adverb.

➔ The word "so" here emphasizes the quality of the sleep. "So good" means very good. "Used to" indicates a past habit or state.
believing you's always gonna be right there.

➔ Contraction "you's" and informal "gonna".

➔ "You's" is a non-standard contraction, likely a dialectal variant of "you were/was" or "you are". "Gonna" is a colloquial shortening of "going to". This reflects a more casual, conversational tone. More formally, it would be: "believing you were always going to be right there".
And the court says 50 50,

➔ Ellipsis (omission) of the verb "is" or "split".

➔ The full sentence would be "And the court says it is 50/50" or "the court says it should be split 50/50". The verb is omitted for brevity and informality.
I go back to being broke as a joke if I could just get a break from the pain.

➔ Second conditional (unreal condition).

➔ This sentence uses the second conditional: "if" + past simple, + "would/could/might" + infinitive without "to". It describes a hypothetical or unlikely situation. "If I could get a break... I would go back..."
