Now that it’s all said and done
I can’t believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down
Like an old abandoned house
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath
I fell too far, was in way too deep
Guess I let you get the best of meeee

(Chorus)
Well I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, time agooo!
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I’m slowly getting closure
I guess it’s really over
I’m finally gettin’ better
Now I’m picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you!!!
(End Chorus)



Do you guys see any alliterations, assonance, consonance, similes, personifications, imagery, anomatopoes, end rhymes or internal rhymes in these lyrics? I need at least 3 poetic devices. But im kinda still confused. so I dunno where they are.

much appreciated!

Now that it’s all said and done [ end rhyme with one ]
I can’t believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down
Like an old abandoned house [ simile ]
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath [ internal rhyme of cold with old two lines above]
I fell too far, was in way too deep
Guess I let you get the best of meeee

(Chorus)
Well I never saw it coming end rhyme with running
I should have started running
A long, time agooo! [the long o sound in ago, more, slowly etc. are assonance]
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I’m slowly getting closure
I guess it’s really over [end rhyme with 'better']
I’m finally gettin’ better
Now I’m picking up the pieces [ alliteration of 'p' ]
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you!!!
(End Chorus)
