Impossible
Arthur James Lyrics

Mmm-mmm
This line doesn't have any specific meaning, it's just a background humming sound.

I remember, years ago
I recall many years ago, reflecting on a piece of advice I received regarding love.

Someone told me I should take cautions when it comes to love, I did
Someone advised me to be careful when dealing with love and I followed that advice.

And you were strong and I was not, my illusion, my mistake
You were strong in our relationship while I was weak, I mistook your strength for love and trusted you.

I was careless, I forgot, I did
I was forgetful, uncaring about our relationship and I did not cherish it.

And now, when all is done, there is nothing to say
Now that our relationship is over, there’s no point in discussing it any further.

You have gone and so effortlessly, you have won, you can go ahead, tell them
You have left me without difficulty, it seems as though you won this breakup, feel free to share the news with others.

Tell them all I know now, shout it from the rooftops, write it on the skyline
Tell the world what I learned from our relationship and how it ended, spread the word far and wide.

All we had is gone now, tell them I was happy and my heart is broken, all my scars are open
Our memories are a thing of the past, you can inform others that I was once happy but that my heart is now shattered and my wounds are visible.

Tell them what I hoped would be impossible
Tell them about the dream I had that was admittedly unrealistic.

Falling out of love is hard
It’s tough to fall out of love.

Falling for betrayal is worse, broken trust and broken hearts, I know, I know
It’s even more challenging to deal with the disappointment and damage created when trust is broken in a relationship.

And thinking all you need is there, building faith on love and words, empty promises will wear, I know
Believing that your partner has everything you need, and relying on love and words to sustain the relationship, creates vulnerability when the promises end up being empty.

And if you're done with embarrassing me, on your own, you can go ahead, tell them
If you've finished humiliating me in front of others, go ahead and tell them your side of the story on your own.

Oh, hoped would be impossible, impossible (impossible)
Oh, the dream I had that would be impossible to achieve, now out of reach.

Impossible (impossible), impossible
Unrealistic, unattainable.

(Impossible) impossible
A dream that one cannot achieve.

(Impossible) impossible (impossible)
Unrealistic and unattainable.

(Impossible)
Unachievable.
