I just wish you were a better man我希望你会是个更好的男人 “wish”后面加的表示虚拟语气的从句，所以Be动词用的是“are”的过去式“were”。 虚拟语气就是指跟现实不一样的，这句歌词说“我只是希望你成为更好的男人”，说明现实是“你还不是更好的男人。” e.g. I wish I were a superman. 我希望我是超人。
2. I know the bravest thing I ever did was run我知道我做过最勇敢的事就是抽身逃离 “the bravest thing I ever did was run.”“I ever did” 是来修饰“the bravest thing”的从句，定语从句。 e.g. The best man I ever saw is you.你是我见过的最好的人.
