Try
Lyrics:
[English]
Ever wonder 'bout what he's doin'?
...
How it all turned to lies?
Sometimes I think that it's better
To never ask why
Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
...
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
Funny how the heart can be deceiving
...
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy
Even when it's not right?
Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
...
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Ever worry that it might be ruined
...
And does it make you wanna cry?
When you're out there doing what you're doing
Are you just getting by?
Tell me, are you just getting by, by, by?
Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You've gotta get up and try, try, try
...
Gotta get up and try, try, try
...

Grammar:
-
Ever wonder 'bout what he's doin'?
➔ Present Continuous in a Question
➔ Uses the auxiliary verb "is" (contracted to "'s" with "he") and the present participle "doin'" (doing) to ask about an action in progress. The inclusion of "ever" suggests it's a recurring thought or question.
-
How it all turned to lies?
➔ Simple Past Tense (Indirect Question)
➔ "turned" is the past tense form of the verb "turn". It describes a completed action in the past. The phrase is an indirect question embedded within a larger thought.
-
Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
➔ "There is/are" Structure and Future with "gonna"
➔ "There is" indicates the existence of something. "Gonna" is a colloquial contraction of "going to," expressing a future intention or prediction. The sentence expresses a cause-and-effect relationship.
-
Someone's bound to get burned
➔ Passive Voice with "be bound to"
➔ "Be bound to" means "certain to" or "sure to". The sentence uses the passive voice, where the subject (someone) receives the action (get burned).
-
Just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
➔ Subordinate Clause with "because" and Future with "gonna"
➔ "Because" introduces a subordinate clause that provides a reason. "Gonna" (going to) expresses a future prediction. The sentence uses a conditional statement: *even if* something bad happens, it doesn't necessarily lead to the worst outcome.
-
Funny how the heart can be deceiving
➔ Modal Verb "can" and Gerund ("deceiving") as Subject Complement
➔ "Can" expresses possibility or ability. "Deceiving" functions as a gerund, acting as a noun that complements the subject "heart".
-
Why do we fall in love so easy Even when it's not right?
➔ Present Simple Question and Subordinate Clause with "Even when"
➔ The question uses the auxiliary verb "do" and the base form of the verb "fall" to ask a general question about the present. "Even when" introduces a subordinate clause that contrasts with the main clause, highlighting a surprising or unexpected situation.
-
Ever worry that it might be ruined?
➔ Modal Verb "might" and Passive Infinitive "be ruined" (Indirect Question)
➔ "Might" expresses possibility or uncertainty. "Be ruined" is the passive infinitive form, indicating the subject *it* could be the recipient of the action. This is an indirect question.
