Figurative languages in the song 'grenade' by bruno mars

Original Post

Hey friends, I've been working on this paper about figurative languages used in the song 'grenade' by bruno mars. The link for the lyrics is below www.metrolyrics.com/grenade-lyrics-bruno-mars.html . I've already done the attemp, I just want to make sure and need help from you guys if I got these right or what is better. So what I got is as below: easy come, easy come -> idiom, meaning taking things very easily, not caring about others' feeling. gave you all i had and you tossed it in the trash -> literal, like he didn't really gave her everything and she didn't toss it in the trash. i'd catch a grenade for ya...i'd do anything for ya (whole stanza) -> exaggeration, he's not gonna do all that. i'd go through all this pain...straight in my brain -> exaggeration again. black black, black and blue -> idiom used for beating till he gets bruises. tell the devil i said hey -> i dont know, is this a hyperbole? if my body was on fire -> literal, its actually not on fire. any corrections or suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks, abodhBaalak
