Key Grammar Structures
-
Not a single day goes by
➔ Idiomatic Expression + Present Simple
➔ The phrase "Not a single day goes by" is an idiom used to emphasize that something happens every day without exception. Here, it means the person constantly thinks about their ex-partner.
-
I know it's over but I can't deny / I'm still missing you
➔ Verb + Gerund
➔ The verb "deny" is typically followed by a gerund (the -ing form of a verb). So, "I can't deny" is followed by "missing" (from 'to miss'), indicating an action that the speaker cannot refuse to acknowledge.
-
But now the fact is you're gone for good
➔ Idiomatic Phrasal Expression
➔ The phrase "for good" means permanently or forever. When someone is "gone for good," it means they have left and will not return.
-
Still it's no use
➔ Idiomatic Expression: 'It's no use' + Gerund (implied)
➔ The phrase "it's no use" is an idiom used to say that a particular action will not achieve anything, often followed by a gerund (e.g., "it's no use crying"). Here, the gerund is implied, meaning all efforts are futile.
-
Don't know what's going on with me
➔ Embedded Question + Present Continuous
➔ This is an example of an "embedded question" where a question is part of a larger sentence, following the structure of a statement (question word + subject + verb). "What's going on" uses the present continuous to describe an ongoing situation.
-
I need your love to set me free
➔ Infinitive of Purpose
➔ The infinitive phrase "to set me free" is used here to express the purpose or reason for needing "your love." It answers the question 'Why do I need your love?'
-
Are you finally over me
➔ Idiomatic Phrasal Expression: 'Be over someone'

-
Girl I know that I let love slip away
➔ Causative Verb 'let' + Object + Bare Infinitive
➔ The causative verb "let" is used here to mean 'allow' or 'permit.' The structure is "let + object + bare infinitive" (without 'to'). So, "let love slip away" means the speaker allowed love to disappear.
-
This is the biggest regret / I'll ever have to face, oh yeah
➔ Superlative + Relative Clause (omitted 'that') + 'have to'
➔ We see the superlative adjective "the biggest" to describe the extreme degree of regret. The phrase "I'll ever have to face" is a relative clause modifying "regret," where the relative pronoun 'that' is omitted. "Have to" expresses obligation or necessity.
