Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's impossible to love you
If you dont let me know what you're feeling
It's impossible for me to give you what you need
If you're always hidin' from me
I dont know what hurt you
But I just, I wanna make it right
Cause it's impossible (impossible)
Ooh baby it's impossible (impossible)
For me to love you this way
It's impossible (impossible)
Oh baby it's impossible (impossible)
If you're makin' it this way
Impossible to make it easy
If you're always tryin' to make it so damn hard
How can I, how can I give you all my love baby oh
If you always, always puttin' up your guard
This is not a circus
So don't ya play me for a clown
How long can emotions keep on goin' up and down oh
It's impossible (impossible)
Oh baby it's impossible (impossible)
For me to love you, this way (this way)
It's impossible (impossible)
Oh baby it's impossible (impossible)
If you keep treatin' me this way
Over, over
Impossible baby oh
If your makin' it this way
This way (this way)
Oh baby it's impossible (impossible)
If you're makin' it this way
Oh oh...
"Impossible" by Christina Aguilera is a song that talks about the difficulties and emotional struggles that come with trying to love someone who constantly hides their feelings and puts up their guard. The lyrics express the idea that it is impossible to truly love and connect with someone if they don't open up and communicate their emotions. The first verse states that it's impossible to love someone if they don't let you know what they're feeling, and that it's difficult to provide them with what they need if they are always hiding from you. The second verse goes on to say that it's impossible to make things easy if someone is always making it hard and putting up their guard.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the impossibility of loving someone in this way, with the repetition of "It's impossible" and the addition of "Oh baby it's impossible" creating a sense of frustration and helplessness. The lyrics also suggest that the person being sung to has been hurt in some way and that the singer wants to make it right, but cannot do that without open communication and trust. The bridge adds to the sentiment by stating that emotions cannot continue to go up and down like a circus, and that playing with someone's emotions is not acceptable.
Overall, the song highlights the importance of communication and trust in any relationship. Without these foundational elements, it is truly impossible to deeply love and connect with another person.
