[English]

I can't go on Instagram no more that shit makes me wanna die

I can't see another photograph

Painting a perfect life

I'm so tried of feeling paper thin

Like I could tear at anytime

Trapped inside

of the brain I'm in. Please get me outta my mind

can anybody stop this train, take me back into my younger days

I was happy with the simple days

who am I anymore?

who am I anymore?

Cause really I don't know

all I wanted was to be something

to be something

but right now, I don't know

who I am anymore

don't have a fuckin' clue

I was hoping I could be something, I could be something

but right now, I don't know

Take a look in the mirror. I don't know who I've become, please take me back to the days when I was young

I have no purpose only thing I had was fun. Now the only thing I feel inside of me is numb

I could spend another second on my phone. I can focus on your life for me trying to live my own. Yeah. Yeah

I got some issues trying to fight him all alone. But if I'm here by my self this house will never be a home

Stop this train

take me to my younger days

pride's on the floor

who am I anymore?

cause really I don't know

really baby I don't know

all I wanted was to be something, to be something

but right now, I don't know

who I am anymore

Don't have a fuckin clue ( I don't have a clue)

I was hoping I could be something, I could be something

but right now, I don't know

we love you bazzi

Key Grammar Structures

• I "can't" go on Instagram no more that shit makes me wanna die

  ➔ Negative modal 'can't' + 'anymore'

  ➔ "can't" expresses inability, and "no more" (or "anymore") shows that the action has stopped.

• I'm so "tired" of "feeling" paper thin

  ➔ Adjective + preposition + gerund (tired of + gerund)

  ➔ "tired" is followed by the preposition "of" and the gerund "feeling" to show the cause of fatigue.

• "Trapped" inside of the brain I'm in.

  ➔ Past participle used as adjective + prepositional phrase

  ➔ "Trapped" is a past participle acting as an adjective describing the speaker's state, followed by the prepositional phrase "inside of the brain".

• Please "get" me "out of" my mind

  ➔ Imperative + phrasal verb (get out of)

  ➔ "Please get out of my mind" uses the imperative verb "get" followed by the particle "out of" to request removal from a mental state.

• "Can" anybody "stop" this train, "take" me back into my younger days?

  ➔ Modal verb for ability/possibility + bare infinitive; coordinated imperatives

  ➔ "Can" introduces a request, followed by the bare infinitives "stop" and "take" which are coordinated by a comma.

• "Who" am I "anymore"?

  ➔ Present simple interrogative with subject‑verb inversion

  ➔ "Who" is the interrogative pronoun placed before the verb "am" to form a question about identity.

• All I "wanted" was "to be" something

  ➔ Past simple verb + infinitive complement

  ➔ "wanted" (past simple) is followed by the infinitive phrase "to be" which functions as the object of the desire.

• "If" I'm here by myself, this house "will never be" a home

  ➔ First conditional (if + present simple, will + base verb)

  ➔ "If" introduces a realistic condition; the result clause uses "will never be" to express a future negative outcome.

• I "could" spend another second on my phone.

  ➔ Modal verb "could" for hypothetical possibility

  ➔ "could" expresses a potential action that is not certain, indicating a hypothetical scenario.
