Key Grammar Structures

• the last thing you said was another regret I won't feel

  ➔ Relative Clause (Defining)

  ➔ The clause 'you said' modifies 'the last thing', identifying which specific thing is being referred to.

• it's the look on your face... that keeps on replaying the scene

  ➔ Cleft Sentence (It is... that...)

  ➔ Used to emphasize that it is specifically the 'look on your face' (and nothing else) causing the memory to replay.

• unlike anything that you ever said

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase of Comparison

  ➔ 'Unlike' acts as a preposition meaning 'different from', used to establish a contrast between the current feeling and past words.

• I cut this off when I was through

  ➔ Phrasal Verb (Past Tense)

  ➔ 'Cut off' means to end a relationship, and 'was through' is an idiom meaning 'finished'.

• I don't miss what we had before

  ➔ Noun Clause as Object

  ➔ The clause 'what we had before' functions as the direct object of the verb 'miss'.

• you try to make believe you couldn't make me feel

  ➔ Causative Verbs (Make)

  ➔ 'Make believe' means to pretend, and 'make me feel' uses 'make + object + base verb' to mean 'force/cause someone to experience'.

• why am I still stuck on you

  ➔ Stative Passive Adjective

  ➔ 'Stuck' is used as an adjective here to describe a state of being unable to move on, rather than the action of being stuck.

• Wake me up from this dream
