Impossible
James Arthur Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remember, years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love, I did
And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot, I did
And now
When all is done, there is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won, you can go ahead, tell them
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be impossible
Impossible
Impossible
Impossible
Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal is worse
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know
And thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know
I know and now
When all is done, there is nothing to say
And if you're done with embarrassing me
On your own, you can go ahead, tell them
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be impossible
Impossible
Impossible
Impossible
I remember, years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
Oh, hoped would be impossible
Impossible (impossible)
Impossible (impossible)
(Impossible)
(Impossible) impossible
(Impossible) impossible

The song "Impossible" by James Arthur is an emotional ballad about the aftermath of a failed relationship. The song reflects on the journey of a couple who fell out of love and the sense of betrayal felt by one partner. The lyrics are a reflection of hindsight, a realization of what the person could have done differently to save their relationship. The singer acknowledges his fault in the relationship's downfall and admits that he was careless and that he made the mistake of not valuing the love he had.
The lyrics also convey a sense of acceptance of the heartbreak that comes after the end of a relationship. The singer accepts that everything is over and there is nothing left to say or do. He tells his ex-partner that they can go ahead and "tell them all" about what happened. This acceptance of reality is also reflected in the repetition of the word "impossible," showing the futility of trying to repair a relationship that is beyond repair.

I remember, years ago
I recall a time in the past
Someone told me I should take
Another person advised me to be careful
Caution when it comes to love, I did
I heeded the caution advised to me when it comes to love
And you were strong and I was not
You had strength and I didn't
My illusion, my mistake
What I thought was real turned out to be an error in judgment
I was careless, I forgot, I did
I didn't take enough care and forgot to be mindful
When all is done, there is nothing to say
Nothing more can be said or done
You have gone and so effortlessly
You left so easily and without struggle
You have won, you can go ahead, tell them
You are the victor and have the right to brag
Tell them all I know now
Communicate to others all that I am aware of now
Shout it from the rooftops
Announce it to the world loudly and proudly
Write it on the skyline
Make it so clear that everyone can see it
All we had is gone now
Everything that we had is now lost
Tell them I was happy
Inform others that I was pleased in the moment
And my heart is broken
Despite the happiness, my heart is shattered
All my scars are open
All my wounds are visible and raw
Tell them what I hoped would be impossible
Inform others what I thought was impossible
Falling out of love is hard
Losing feelings for someone is challenging
Falling for betrayal is worse
Being deceived by a loved one is even more painful
Broken trust and broken hearts
Faith and love have been damaged
Thinking all you need is there
Believing you have everything you need
Building faith on love and words
Creating trust based on love and sweet nothings
Empty promises will wear
Hollow words will become worn out
If you're done with embarrassing me
If you're through with putting me to shame
On your own, you can go ahead, tell them
Express yourself to others on your own
Oh, hoped would be impossible
I wanted something done that was seemingly implausible
Impossible (impossible)
Unattainable
Impossible (impossible)
Inconceivable
(Impossible)
Out of reach
