Grammar:

• We don't talk anymore Like we used to do

  ➔ Past Simple contrast with 'used to'

  ➔ "We don't talk" (present simple) indicates a current state of not talking. "Used to do" signifies a past habit or state that is no longer true. It emphasizes the change in their relationship.

• I just heard you found the one you've been looking for

  ➔ Past Perfect Continuous ('you've been looking') embedded in a Noun Clause

  ➔ The past perfect continuous "you've been looking for" (you have been looking for) emphasises the duration of the search before you found someone, with that whole clause acting as the object of "heard."

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

  ➔ Third Conditional in a 'Wish' clause (expressing regret about the past)

  ➔ "I wish I would have known" expresses a regret about something in the past. The structure "would have + past participle" is used to indicate something that was possible but didn't happen.

• Why I can't move on Just the way you did so easily?

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of 'move on') and Intensifier 'so' modifying 'easily'

  ➔ The phrase implies "why I can't move on just the way you did move on so easily?" omitting the second 'move on' for brevity. The intensifier "so" emphasizes how easily the other person moved on.

• What kind of dress you're wearing tonight

  ➔ Embedded Question/Indirect Question (with subject-verb inversion omitted)

  ➔ This is an indirect question. The direct question would be "What kind of dress are you wearing tonight?". In indirect questions within a larger sentence, the standard subject-verb inversion is often omitted in informal speech and song lyrics.

• Should've known your love was a game

  ➔ Modal Perfect ('should have + past participle') for expressing regret/criticism

  ➔ "Should've known" (should have known) expresses regret that the speaker didn't realize the truth earlier. It's a form of self-criticism.

• I just hope you're lying next to somebody Who knows how to love you like me

  ➔ Relative Clause ('Who knows how to love you like me') modifying 'somebody'

  ➔ The relative clause "Who knows how to love you like me" provides additional information about 'somebody'. 'Who' acts as the subject of the relative clause, and the entire clause describes the qualities of that person.
