Grammar:

• Like we used to do

  ➔ Past Habit: 'used to' + infinitive

  ➔ Expresses an action or state that was true in the past but is no longer true. 'We **used to do**' implies they performed the action regularly in the past but don't anymore.

• I wish I would have known that wasn't me

  ➔ Third Conditional: 'wish' + past perfect subjunctive

  ➔ Expresses regret about something that happened or didn't happen in the past. The structure '**wish I would have known**' indicates a desire for a different past outcome.

• Why I can't move on

  ➔ Indirect Question: Question word + subject + verb

  ➔ This clause functions as the object of the verb 'wonder'. Instead of a direct question ('Why can't I move on?'), it's embedded within a larger sentence. The word order changes to subject-verb after the question word '**Why I can't move on**'.

• What kind of dress you're wearing tonight

  ➔ Indirect Question: 'What kind of' + noun + subject + verb

  ➔ This is another example of an indirect question, functioning as the object of 'don't wanna know'. The structure '**What kind of dress you're wearing**' is not a direct question, but a noun clause.

• Should've known your love was a game

  ➔ Modal Verb of Regret: 'should have' + past participle

  ➔ Expresses regret or a sense of obligation that was not fulfilled in the past. 'Should've known' (short for 'should have known') indicates that the speaker now realizes they should have been aware of something earlier.

• There must be a good reason that you're gone

  ➔ Modal verb of deduction ('must') + relative clause ('that you're gone')

  ➔ '**Must**' expresses a strong degree of certainty or deduction. The relative clause '**that you're gone**' modifies 'reason', providing further information about it.

• I'm just too afraid that I'll be wrong

  ➔ Adjective + 'too' + adjective + 'that' clause

  ➔ The structure '**too afraid that**' indicates a level of fear that prevents the subject from acting. The 'that' clause explains what the subject is afraid of.
