[English]

We used to love, we used to feel it

Said I was everything you needed

And when you kissed me I believed it

That's why I'm hurt so bad

(so bad)

Yeah, you got me looking like a fool coming up to you

Whatever happened to the girl that I just knew?

Never thought that you could be, be so cruel

You treated your man like a temporary tattoo

After everything that we've been through

You got me thinking so hard what did I do?

What did I do, yeah yeah yeah

How come it feels like we never happened, never happened at all?

(Now you looking at me, now you looking at me)

Like a stranger acting like we were nothing, girl, we had it all

(Now you looking at me, now you looking at me)

Oh, no matter what you do

I can never treat you like a stranger

Oh, no matter what you do

I can never treat you like a stranger

Oh, what you put me through

I can never treat you like a stranger

Oh, no matter what you do

No matter what you do

How come it feels like we never happened, never happened at all?

(Now you looking at me, now you looking at me)

Like a stranger acting like we were nothing, girl, we had it all

(Now you looking at me, now you looking at me)

Key Grammar Structures

• We used to love, we used to feel it

  ➔ used to + base verb (past habit)

  ➔ The phrase ""used to"" indicates an action that was regular in the past but no longer occurs.

• Said I was everything you needed

  ➔ Past simple verb (Said) + reported clause

  ➔ The past simple ""Said"" introduces a reported statement: "I was everything you needed".

• And when you kissed *me* I believed *it*

  ➔ Temporal clause with "when" + past simple

  ➔ The word ""when"" introduces a time reference; both verbs ""kissed"" and ""believed"" are in the past simple because the actions are completed.

• That's why I'm *hurt* so *bad*

  ➔ Contraction (That's) + present simple of "to be" + adjective

  ➔ The contraction ""That's"" = "That is". ""I'm"" = "I am". The adjective ""hurt"" describes the speaker's feeling; "bad" intensifies it.

• Never thought that you *could* be so *cruel*

  ➔ Modal verb "could" + bare infinitive (be)

  ➔ The modal ""could"" expresses possibility or ability in the past; it is followed directly by the base form ""be"".

• How come it *feels* like we never *happened*?

  ➔ "How come" + present simple verb

  ➔ The informal question ""How come"" is followed by the present simple ""feels""; the verb ""happened"" is used metaphorically as a past participle.

• I can *never* treat you like a *stranger*

  ➔ Modal verb "can" + adverb of frequency "never" + bare infinitive

  ➔ The modal ""can"" expresses ability/possibility; ""never"" negates it, and the bare infinitive ""treat"" follows.

• What you *put* me through

  ➔ Indirect question with "what" as object + verb in past simple

  ➔ Here "what" functions as a noun meaning "the thing(s)"; the verb ""put"" is in the past simple because the action already happened.
