Lyrics:

[English]

It might not be the right time

I might not be the right one

But there's something about us I want to say

'Cause there's something between us anyway

I might not be the right one

It might not be the right time

But there's something about us I've got to do

Some kind of secret I will share with you

I need you more than anything in my life

I want you more than anything in my life

I'll miss you more than anyone in my life

I love you more than anyone in my life.

Grammar:

  • It might not be the right time

    ➔ Modal verb "might" for expressing possibility.

    "Might" suggests a lower degree of certainty compared to "may" or "will." It indicates that something is possible, but not definite. The phrase means 'it is possible that this is not the correct time'.

  • But there's something about us I want to say

    ➔ Relative clause with omitted relative pronoun (that/which).

    ➔ The relative pronoun "that" or "which" is omitted after "something". The sentence is equivalent to 'But there's something about us *that* I want to say'. This is common in informal English.

  • Some kind of secret I will share with you

    ➔ Future tense with "will" and relative clause with omitted relative pronoun.

    "Will" indicates a future action. The relative pronoun "that" (or "which") is omitted. The expanded sentence would be "Some kind of secret *that* I will share with you".

  • I need you more than anything in my life

    ➔ Comparative structure using "more than".

    "More than" is used to compare two things, indicating that the speaker's need for the other person is greater than their need for anything else.

  • I'll miss you more than anyone in my life

    ➔ Contraction "I'll" (I will), superlative comparison using "more than".

    "I'll" is a contraction of "I will", indicating future tense. "More than anyone" emphasizes the exceptional degree of missing the person. It's not necessarily grammatically perfect as 'most' could be used, but it gets the point across.
