[English]

Weak

I have been crying and crying for weeks

How'd I survive when I can barely speak

Barely eat

On my knees

But that's the moment you came to me

I don't know what your love has done to me

Think I'm invincible

I see through the, me

I used to be

You changed my whole life

...

Don't know what you're doing

To me with your love

I'm feeling a superhuman

You did that to me

Superhuman heart beats in me

Nothing can stop me here with you

Superhuman

I feel so superhuman

Superhuman

I feel so superhuman

Superhuman

Strong since I've been flying and riding the wrongs

Feels almost like had it all along

I can see tomorrow

But every problem is gone because

I've flown everywhere with love inside of me

It's unbelievable to see

How love can set me free

You changed my whole life

...

Don't know what you're doing

To me with your love

I'm feeling a superhuman

You did that to me

Superhuman heart beats in me

Nothing can stop me here with you

Superhuman

I feel so superhuman

Superhuman

I feel so superhuman

It's not a bird, not a plane

It's my heart, and it's going, gone away

My only weakness is you

Only reason is you

Every minute with you

I feel like I can do anything

...

Going, going I'm gone away in love

You changed my whole life

Don't know what you're doing

To me with your love

I'm feeling a superhuman

You did that to me

Superhuman heart beats in me

Nothing can stop here with you

Superhuman

...

Superhuman

...

Key Grammar Structures

• Weak, I have been crying and crying for weeks

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous

  ➔ The use of 'have been + verb-ing' emphasizes the duration of the crying, highlighting a continuous action that started in the past and continues up to the present. The repetition of 'crying' intensifies the feeling.

• I don't know what your love has done to me

  ➔ Present Perfect Simple

  ➔ The Present Perfect 'has done' indicates an action completed at an unspecified time in the past, with a result that is relevant now – the speaker is currently feeling the effects of the love.

• Feels almost like I had it all along

  ➔ Past Subjunctive (implied)

  ➔ The phrase suggests a counterfactual situation – that the feeling of strength was always within the speaker, even though they didn't realize it. 'Had' implies a past possibility that wasn't fully realized until now.

• Every minute with you I feel like I can do anything

  ➔ Conditional Clause (Type 1)

  ➔ The structure 'If + present simple, will + infinitive' is implied. 'With you' acts as the condition, and 'I can do anything' is the likely result. It expresses a realistic possibility.

• My only weakness is you

  ➔ Subject-Verb-Complement with Noun as Predicative Complement

  ➔ The noun 'you' functions as the predicative complement, describing what the subject ('my only weakness') *is*. It defines the subject's characteristic.
