But if you only knew, how much that's just not like me
I wait up late every night
Just to hear your voice, but you don't know that's nothing like me
You know I wonder how you already figured out
All these things that I try to hide
All this time I've been hoping you don't find out
I can't be held responsible
This is all so new to me
Just when I think I'm invincible
You come and happen to me
I want to make sure everything is perfect for you
If you only knew, that's not like me to follow through
Maybe even give up all these dead end dreams
Just to be with you, but you don't know that's nothing like me
Hey yeah I wonder how you already figured out
All these things that I try to hide
All this time I've been hoping you don't find out
All these things that I hide on the inside
I can't be held responsible
This is all so new to me
Just when I think I'm invincible
You come and happen to me
Now I'm waking up, I've finally had enough
Of this wreck of a lifetime, I never thought I'd survive it
Now I'm taking back, all I gave up for that
Leave my pain behind, wash these stains from my life
Just when I thought all was lost
You came and made it all okay
I can't be held responsible
This is all so new to me
Just when I think I'm invincible
You come and happen to me
I can't be held responsible
This is all so new to me
Just when I think I'm invincible
You come and happen to me
I memorized all the words for you
If you only knew, how much that's just not like me
Crossfade's song, Invincible, is a love ballad about the vulnerability and transformation that happens when someone new enters your life. The lyrics suggest a sense of disbelief and wonder that this person has been able to uncover parts of the singer that they themselves were not fully aware of. The song is a confession of sorts, as the singer admits to hiding aspects of themselves out of fear of judgment or rejection. The words "I can't be held responsible" speak to the fact that the singer is not in full control of their emotions and actions when it comes to this new love interest.
The chorus, "Just when I think I'm invincible/You come and happen to me," highlights the transformative power of love. It suggests that the singer has been somewhat closed off or guarded in the past, but this new person has opened them up in a way that makes them feel invincible. The line "If you only knew, how much that's just not like me" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the singer has been changed so fundamentally by this person that they are almost unrecognizable to themselves.
The song takes a turn towards the end, as the singer realizes that they have given too much of themselves away and need to reclaim what they lost. The line "Now I'm taking back, all I gave up for that/Leave my pain behind, wash these stains from my life" suggests a newfound sense of agency and self-determination. The final lines of the song, "Just when I thought all was lost/You came and made it all okay," suggest that while the singer is more self-aware and in control of their emotions, they still credit this new love interest with saving them.
Line by Line Meaning
I memorized all the words for you
I put a lot of effort into making sure I know what to say to you
But if you only knew, how much that's just not like me
It's not my usual behavior to be so invested in someone else
I wait up late every night
I stay up late just to hear your voice
Just to hear your voice, but you don't know that's nothing like me
This is behavior that is not typical for me, but I do it to be close to you
You know I wonder how you already figured out
I am amazed that you have been able to see through me so easily
All these things that I try to hide
There are many things that I am not comfortable sharing with others
All this time I've been hoping you don't find out
I have been keeping secrets from you and hoping you don't discover them
All these things that I hide on the inside
My true self is not on display for everyone to see
I can't be held responsible
I cannot be blamed for my actions since I am new to this kind of relationship
This is all so new to me
I am inexperienced in this type of situation
Just when I think I'm invincible
Even though I thought I was strong, you have made me vulnerable
You come and happen to me
Your presence in my life has brought change and shaken things up
I want to make sure everything is perfect for you
I strive to create an ideal situation for you
If you only knew, that's not like me to follow through
It is not typical for me to complete tasks or fulfill promises
Maybe even give up all these dead end dreams
I am willing to sacrifice my own aspirations to be with you
Hey yeah, I wonder how you already figured out
I am surprised that you have been able to uncover so much about me already
Now I'm waking up, I've finally had enough
I am finally becoming aware of my own dissatisfaction
Of this wreck of a lifetime, I never thought I'd survive it
I have gone through difficult times and never thought I would make it through
Now I'm taking back, all I gave up for that
I am reclaiming what I have lost for the relationship
Leave my pain behind, wash these stains from my life
I am trying to move on from the past and start fresh
Just when I thought all was lost
I had lost hope in the situation
You came and made it all okay
Your presence and actions helped restore my faith and optimism

I still can't get over why this song wasn't a massive success. Definitely one of the greatest power ballads of the oughts and the lyrics are so relatable.
But I guess they experienced their faire share of success with Cold, Colors and So Far Away.
@davidpeters2625
That actually makes sense, now that I think about it.. good point... and yes this song is so underrated to the point where it becomes CRIMINAL...
@nikki6ixx76
Such an under rated song!!!! This is right up there with Cold If you ask me!!
@rvanbruggen87
You say under rated, I say under appreciated. So many of their songs hit the feels so right on.
This band is horribly under appreciated by my generation.
