Grammar:

• I'VE SPENT SO LONG LIVIN' IN HELL

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous (Progressive)

  ➔ The phrase "I've spent" uses the present perfect tense, indicating an action that started in the past and continues to the present. The addition of "living" turns it into the continuous form, emphasizing the duration and ongoing nature of the experience. "I've spent so long" indicates an extended period of time.

• I DON'T EVEN DESERVE THE FATHER TITLE

  ➔ Negative Statement with Adverb of Degree

  ➔ The structure "I don't even deserve" includes a negative statement (don't) and an adverb of degree ("even"), emphasizing the speaker's strong feeling of unworthiness. The word "even" amplifies the lack of deserving.

• SORRY THAT I CHOSE DRUGS AND PUT 'EM ABOVE YOU

  ➔ Past Simple Tense and Comparative Structure (implied)

  ➔ "Chose" and "put" are in the past simple tense. The phrase implies a comparison: I chose drugs and put them above you (more important than you). This is comparative, even though it doesn't explicitly use "more than".

• HOW THE FUCK DO I NOT LOVE YOU MORE THAN A PILL?

  ➔ Interrogative Sentence with Comparative Adverb

  ➔ This is a rhetorical question using the comparative adverb "more than". The structure "How...do I not...?" is an inverted way to express disbelief and deep emotional conflict.

• THEY SAY MY LIFESTYLE IS BAD FOR MY HEALTH

  ➔ Indirect Speech (Reported Speech) and Simple Present Tense

  ➔ "They say..." introduces indirect speech, reporting what other people generally believe. The phrase after "say" uses the simple present tense ("is") to express a general truth or fact.

• I'M JUST SO DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR

  ➔ Passive Voice with Adverb of Degree and Prepositional Phrase

  ➔ "Damaged" acts as a past participle in a passive construction. "So" is an adverb of degree intensifying the adjective "damaged." "Beyond repair" is a prepositional phrase specifying the extent of the damage.

• I'VE BEEN STARIN' AT THAT VIDEO OF HAILIE ALMOST DAILY

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous with Adverb of Frequency

  ➔ "I've been staring" uses the present perfect continuous to describe an action that started in the past and continues to the present. "Almost daily" is an adverb of frequency indicating how often the action occurs.
