如何分析：Live like you were dying.

Live like you were dying. Love because you are. 生如将逝，爱因本心。

这句话，like引导的方式状语从句为什么用you were dying？

如果你认真看看歌词，明白Tim McGraw要表达的含义，就会知道，这里 Live like you were dying 的意思是：

What would you do for your last day if you knew that you were dying in a little while？

也就是我们常用的一个假设句型，常简化为：What if ...? --> 如果（if）后面的事情发生，（你）会怎么办，怎么样（what）？

所以，这句“你快要死了”只是一个假设，非事实，也就是我们常说的虚拟，所以用了were

一家之言，仅供参考；

勤查英英，必有所获！
