Grammar:

• Got no more tears here left to cry

  ➔ Past Participle as an Adjective (left to cry)

  ➔ The past participle "left" modifies "tears," indicating the tears remaining are those that need to be cried. "to cry" is an infinitive modifying the adjective 'left'.

• I've been alright, you know, I finally let you go, yeah-yeah

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous ("I've been alright")

  ➔ "I've been alright" uses the present perfect continuous to express a state that has been ongoing until now. It implies that the speaker's state of being alright has been developing over time.

• I don't know why you thought that I'd be sheddin' a tear

  ➔ Reported Speech (Indirect Question) with Conditional Mood ("I'd be sheddin' a tear")

  ➔ The sentence is a reported question using "why." "I'd be sheddin' a tear" is in the conditional mood (would + base form), indicating what the speaker thought *might* happen.

• Bet you think I'm a trainwreck, upset

  ➔ Reduced Relative Clause ("I'm a trainwreck, upset")

  ➔ "upset" acts as a reduced relative clause, modifying "trainwreck". The full clause could be "I'm a trainwreck who is upset".

• Tryna write another sad song, but not me

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of words) after "but"

  ➔ The complete sentence would be "Tryna write another sad song, but not me trying to write another sad song". The phrase "trying to write another sad song" is omitted for brevity and emphasis.

• So pour yourself another drink

  ➔ Imperative Mood

  ➔ The sentence "So pour yourself another drink" is an example of the imperative mood, which is used to give commands or instructions. The subject is implied (you).

• And now I've finally had enough (had enough)

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense ("I've had enough")

  ➔ "I've had enough" uses the present perfect to indicate that the speaker's feeling of 'having enough' is a recent realization with current relevance.

• I know you hope I'm cryin', but I'm doin' just fine

  ➔ Present Continuous Tense ("I'm cryin', I'm doin'")

  ➔ The present continuous tense is used to describe actions happening at the moment of speaking or around the present time, emphasizing the ongoing nature of the actions.
