"Amnesia"

I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted
I thought about our last kiss, how it felt, the way you tasted
And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine
Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you?
When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you?
Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie?
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?
'Cause I'm not fine at all
I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape
'Cause I'm not fine at all
The pictures that you sent me they're still living in my phone
I'll admit I like to see them, I'll admit I feel alone
And all my friends keep asking why I'm not around
It hurts to know you're happy, yeah, it hurts that you've moved on
It's hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long
It's like we never happened, was it just a lie?
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?
'Cause I'm not fine at all
I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape
If today I woke up with you right beside me
Like all of this was just some twisted dream
I'd hold you closer than I ever did before
And you'd never slip away
And you'd never hear me say
I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape
'Cause I'm not fine at all

At the beginning, he is remembering memories from their relationship,
but he quickly brings himself back to the reality of it, and tries asking your
friends, only to get a short, general answer of "you're doing fine."
He kinda wonders if your friends are just trying to keep you away from her. He
wants to know whether or not the guy that you are with now makes you happy, and
if he doesn't, if you try and make yourself feel better by reading little
notes, or text that he sent to you before your relationship ended.
He is now wondering if you were just leading him on, because if you
loved him like he loved you, you wouldn't be happy with someone else, you would
be torn apart. He is now thinking back to the day that you broke-up, and how torn apart
you were then. You were crying as if you were forced to leave. But he remembers
that together, you had plans, and dreams, and you just left that behind when
you left him. He just wishes that he could wake up, and not remember anything,
so he wouldn't have to deal with the pain and depression that was caused when
you left him. He just wants to forget what he calls "stupid little
things", but on the inside they were his favourite things about being with
you.
He is now remembering more about the relationship. Little pictures that
you would send back and forth, inside jokes,things of that sort. He is
admitting that he tortures himself by looking at all of this because he knows
that you're what you call "happy" with this new guy. He tells you
that it is really hard to hear your name, because people don't realize just
what they're saying. To him you were everything, but to them, your're just a
person, a friend, a mediocre acquaintance. He is wondering if your relationship really ever did
happen, or did he just make a fool of himself, falling head-over-heels in love
with you, only to be played like a chess piece.
He is wishing that all of this is just a terrible nightmare that he is
having, because it is tearing him apart. So when he wakes up, he will hold you
a little closer to show you that he is worth your time, no matter what. if he
wakes up, he never wants for you to hear him say...
He is just hoping that all of this is a nightmare because he doesn't
want to see a world without being with you. He isn't fine, and you're the only
thing that can fix him.

English has three
primary auxiliary verbs: do, be, and have. All three take part in the formation of various
grammatical constructions, but carry very little meaning themselves. However,
it makes very little sense to ask what is means in this sentence.
Instead, what is of interest is what is does, i.e. that it helps form a
verb phrase which, as a whole, indicates that Bill's dancing is going
on at this moment. The same reasoning applies to all the primary auxiliaries.
They are auxiliaries in the true sense of being 'helpers' in conveying
verbal meaning.
A.
Do
The most important use of the primary auxiliary do is to help form negative and
(most) interrogative clauses (questions) when no other auxiliary is present in
the verb phrase. This use of do is referred to as do-insertion
(do-support, do-periphrasis).
B. Be
The primary auxiliary be takes part in the formation of
progressive verb phrases, as well as the formation of passive verb phrases.
C. Have
The primary auxiliary have is used for the formation of the
perfect.
The perfect consist of the auxiliary have followed by the past participle (the
second ed-form).
In the simplest case, a verb phrase in the perfect consists of just two
verbs
