Grammar:

• I was lost, you found a way to bring me back

  ➔ Past Simple Tense, Phrasal Verb

  ➔ "was lost" uses the past simple to describe a past state. "bring me back" is a phrasal verb meaning to return someone to a previous state or location.

• Needed forgiveness

  ➔ Past Participle as an Adjective

  ➔ "Needed" acts as an adjective modifying the implied noun (e.g., forgiveness was needed). It's a shortened clause: forgiveness that was needed.

• Girl, what we got’s worth thanking God for

  ➔ Relative Clause, Possessive 's, Preposition at the end of a Clause

  ➔ "what we got" is a relative clause acting as a noun. "got’s" is a contraction of "got is" showing possession (what we have). The preposition "for" ends the clause, modifying "thanking".

• So, thank God I get to wake up by your side

  ➔ Modal Verb "get to", Prepositional Phrase

  ➔ "get to" expresses the opportunity or privilege of doing something. "by your side" is a prepositional phrase indicating location.

• And thank God your hand fits perfectly in mine

  ➔ Subject-Verb Agreement, Adverb of Manner, Prepositional Phrase

  ➔ "hand fits" demonstrates subject-verb agreement (singular subject, singular verb form). "perfectly" is an adverb of manner describing how the hand fits. "in mine" is a prepositional phrase indicating location (within my hand).

• And thank God you loved me when you didn't have to

  ➔ Past Simple Tense, Subordinate Clause with "when", Modal auxiliary ('have to')

  ➔ "loved" and "didn't have to" are in the past simple tense. "when you didn't have to" is a subordinate clause providing context for the main clause. "have to" implies obligation, and the negative shows the absence of that obligation.

• But you did and you do, and he knew

  ➔ Auxiliary Verb for Emphasis, Present Simple Tense, Past Simple Tense

  ➔ "did" is used for emphasis in the past simple. "do" is present simple tense and used for emphasis. "knew" is in the past simple.
