Grammar:

• I told you that I never would

  ➔ Past Simple with conditional 'would'

  ➔ The sentence uses the past simple tense with the modal verb "would" to express a past intention that was not followed. "I told you that I never would" implies that the speaker promised not to do something, but they did it anyway.

• even when I knew I never could

  ➔ Past Simple with 'could' (ability in the past)

  ➔ This part uses "could" to express the speaker's understanding of their lack of ability to change. "I knew I never could" indicates that the speaker was aware they were incapable of changing their behaviour.

• I know that I can't find nobody else as good as you

  ➔ Double Negative (technically incorrect, but common in informal speech)

  ➔ The phrase "can't find nobody" is a double negative, which is grammatically incorrect in standard English. It should be "can't find anybody" or "can find nobody." However, double negatives are often used in informal speech and some dialects for emphasis.

• I get drunk, wake up, I'm wasted still

  ➔ Simple Present tense to describe habitual actions and short, declarative sentences.

  ➔ Uses the simple present tense to describe a recurring or habitual action. The phrase indicates a sequence of events that happen regularly: the speaker gets drunk, wakes up, and is still intoxicated.

• I'll be fucked up if you can't be right here

  ➔ First Conditional

  ➔ This sentence uses the first conditional (if + present simple, will + base form) to express a likely future outcome if a certain condition is met. If the person can't be there, the speaker will be in a bad state.

• When I'm away from you, I miss your touch, ooh-ooh

  ➔ Present Simple to describe a general truth or feeling linked by the subordinating conjuction 'when'.

  ➔ Uses 'When' as a time conjunction. The speaker uses simple present to expresses a feeling or state that happens every time when they are away from their loved one.
