In grammar, a subject complement is a predicative expression that follows a linking verb (copula) and that complements (completes) the subject of the sentence by either (1) renaming it or (2) describing it. In the former case, a renaming noun phrase such as a noun or pronoun is called a predicative nominal. An adjective following the copula and describing the subject is called a predicative adjective. In either case the predicative complement in effect mirrors the subject. Subject complements are used with a small class of verbs called linking verbs or copula, of which be is the most common. Since copula are stative verbs, subject complements are not affected by any action of the verb. Subject complements are typically not clause arguments, nor are they clause adjuncts.
The subject complement is in bold in the following examples:
Here was is a linking verb (an inflected form of be) that equates the predicate nominative phrase a tranquil pool, with head noun pool, to the subject the lake (with head noun lake).

You saw me
I heard you
Right from the start
I open
You stole it
The breath from my heart
Nights turn into days
And nothing fades the way I feel about you
I would never let us fall apart
It's me again
Just like it was yesterday
Tomorrow will be the same
You'll never have to wonder
It's me again
Giving you everything
From now until the ocean turns to sand
It's me again
I know you
You're safe here
Just where you are
My love
Can't fight this
Cause we're timeless
And we'll out last the start
Nights turn into days
And nothing fades the way I feel about you
I would never let us fall apart
Cause it's me again
Just like it was yesterday
Tomorrow will be the same
You'll never have to wonder
It's me again
Giving you everything
From now until the ocean turns to sand
It's me again
I could spend a whole lifetime
Over and over
Still wouldn't be enough
I will fall
For you again
And again
And again
It's me again
Just like it was yesterday
Tomorrow will be the same
You'll never have to wonder
It's me again
Giving you everything
From now until the ocean turns to sand
Vs. 1
O.K., Maybe I’m not as strong as I pretend to be
O.K., Maybe I’m just as insecure as everybody else
I tell myself maybe, I can work it out alone
No one else will ever know
Vs. 2
You there, watching and waiting with the patience of a saint
While I wallow in self-indulgent, paranoid philosophy
I’m no Socrates baby, in the end it’s like a marathon
I’m running straight to you
Chorus
I can’t seem to take this ride with ease
I can’t see the forest for the trees
I’m coming undone
Hello, it’s me again
It’s me again
Vs. 3
Tonight, while all the world is sleeping I will roam the halls
Consumed with the obsessions of a terminal insomniac
Under attack, save me, from the poets and the poltergeists
Playing in my head
Chorus
Bridge
So you tell not to worry
I’m a frightened little child
With a strong imagination
That can always be found
Running free and wild
Hello
yeah it's me again
You say we should stay friends
So don't put down the phone
I just wanted to tell you
that I cry
All day and all night
Baby it's true
Tell me anything but don't speak out his name
'cause it will hurt me again
You can't imagine how I feel
Oh no, oh no
Please don't put down the phone
I'm feeling so alone
Please don't put down the phone
I'm so alone
Please don't forget me
Tell me that you care
Let me feel you there
I'm feeling so alone
Tell me anything but don't speak out his name
'cause it will hurt me again
You can't imagine how I feel
When you're lyin' by her side
And your conscience just can't hide
A bitter taste flows from her skin
It's me again
Restless nights you toss and turn
Are you ever gonna learn
Each time old regrets rush in
It's me again
CHORUS:
When memories out of nowhere make you wonder if you still care
All you can think about is how you left me here
When you walk out of my life into her arms
Now every time the guilt starts
The ghost of yesterday reminds you of the love we made back then
It's me again
[Instrument Break Guitar-Fiddle]
When second thoughts cross your mind
And you can't leave the past behind
You wonder just what might have been
It's me again
When the touch you left me for
Don't satisfy you anymore
You'll close your eyes and you'll pretend
It's me again
When memories out of nowhere make you wonder if you still care
All you can think about is how you left me here
When you walk out of my life into her arms
Now every time the guilt starts
The ghost of yesterday reminds you of the love we made back then
I shred your bullshit poetry
Yes, it's me again
I wreck your postivity
Yes, it's me again
I fuck it to watch it bleed
I kick it to make it scream
I am the alternate choice
To some stray life I'm not saying
You see beauty, I see pain
You see sky, and I see acid rain
It's me again
I rip your throat out on a whim
Yes, it's me again
I only ask for everything
Yes, it's me again
I squeeze it to feel it breathe
I smash it to fuel this need
I am the antidote for
Whatever sickness you feed
Little miss fucker don't move an inch
Y'all punk suckers cant take the heat
Your blood rushing from head to feet
This is what I stand for
All unjustice thats done to man
All you fuckers know who I am
I'm living proof that you can
Turn around and say it's me again
All that own you been so good to me (You stupid for this) if this world were mine
Whoop! Camay we gon take back like polka dots holla
Wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
