Take Care
Lyrics:
[English]
I know you've been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
If you let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you
I've loved and I've lost
I've asked about you and they told me things
But my mind didn't change and I still feel the same
What's a life with no fun? Please, don't be so ashamed
I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know
They won't get you like I will
My only wish is I die real
Cause that truth hurts and those lies heal
And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still
So you cry still, tears all on the pillowcase
Big girls all get a little taste
Pushing me away so I give her space
Dealing with a heart that I didn't break
I be there for you, I will care for you
I keep thinking you just don't know
Tryna run from that, say you done with that
On your face, girl, it just don't show
When you're ready, just say you're ready
When all the baggage just ain't as heavy
And the party's over, just don't forget me
We'll change the pace and we'll just go slow
You won't ever have to worry, you won't ever have to hide
You've seen all my mistakes, so look me in my eyes
Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you
I've loved and I've lost
It's my birthday, I'll get high if I want to
Can't deny that I want you but I'll lie if I have to
Cause you don't say you love me to your friends when they ask you
Even though we both know that you do, you do
One time, been in love one time
You and all your girls in the club one time
All so convinced that you're following your heart
Cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes
We all have our nights, though, don't be so ashamed
I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know
You hate being alone, you ain't the only one
You hate the fact that you bought the dream and they sold you one
You love your friends, but somebody should've told you some
To save you, instead they say:
(Don't tell me, I don't care)
(If you hurt, I don't tell you)
(You don't care, if you're true)
(Don't tell me, I don't care)
(If you hurt, I don't tell you)
(You don't care, if you're true)
I know you've been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
If you let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you
I've loved and I've lost

Grammar:
-
I know you've been hurt by someone else
➔ Present Perfect Passive
➔ The form "have/has been + past participle" indicates an action completed at some point in the past that has relevance to the present. Here, "you've been hurt" means the action of being hurt happened before now and the speaker sees the effects.
-
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
➔ Relative clause with "the way"
➔ The phrase "the way you carry yourself" functions as a noun phrase and is the object of the preposition "by". It describes *how* the person acts.
-
My only wish is I die real
➔ Subjunctive Mood (informal)
➔ The use of the base form "die" after "wish" is an informal use of the subjunctive mood. Formally, it might be 'My only wish is that I *would* die real'. It expresses a desire or a hope that is unlikely or unreal. In informal speech, the 'that' and 'would' are often omitted.
-
Cause that truth hurts and those lies heal
➔ Contrasting Ideas with Parallel Structure
➔ The sentence presents a contrast between "truth" and "lies." The verbs "hurts" and "heal" are in the simple present tense, highlighting the general truth of these statements and providing a stark contrast.
-
You won't ever have to worry, you won't ever have to hide
➔ Future Tense with "will" and Adverb of Frequency
➔ "Won't ever have to" expresses a strong negative certainty about the future. The adverb of frequency "ever" emphasizes that the action (worrying or hiding) will not happen at any time in the future.
-
You've seen all my mistakes, so look me in my eyes
➔ Present Perfect and Imperative Sentence
➔ "You've seen" (Present Perfect) indicates that the action of seeing all his mistakes happened at some point in the past and is relevant now. "Look me in my eyes" (Imperative) is a direct command.
