• NO, THIS AIN'T REALLY LIKE ME

  ➔ Informal Contraction: "ain't"

  ➔ "Ain't" is a non-standard contraction for "am not", "is not", "are not", "has not", and "have not". Here, it functions as "is not". It's common in informal speech and some dialects.

• WHEN I'M WITH YOU I CAN'T BREATHE

  ➔ Conditional Clause: "When I'm with you..."

  ➔ Embedded Question: "How many ways can I say..."
