Impossible
I Am King 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, I did
You were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot, I did, 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
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 gone, 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
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

Impossible
Impossible
Oh, 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
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

I remember years ago




Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love, I did

This song awakened an old scar in me. There is this girl I'm into, since we both were 7 years old, it's a huge crush. I finally proposed to her when I was 13, as you could expect, she turned me down, because she's not into love, she wanted to focus on her studies more.

And that is respectable. That personality of hers, that way of thinking, is what I respect the most about her. She's a brave girl, makes her own stand, stands upto boys herself. And VERY down to earth. Overall a very based and mega-chad personality. She even once saved my ass from my bullies in 3rd grade. I used to get bullied alot because my body is very fragile. It still is she was the first and the ONLY person to ever come to my rescue.

When she said no, I was devastated, I cried alot that day and started feeling ill, stayed at home for a few days depressed. But I never blamed her or do anything stupid. Because when your crush makes their decision, you have to respect it. It's in your obligations to do so. I want what makes her happy.

In 8th grade i got transferred to another school due to uncontrollable bullying, u was away from her now, that sucked ass. But most days, I dream of her in my sleep, many of them are soothing dreams to my scar.

When I read highschool, I got to meet her again, she transferred to my school, but COVID got in the way of seeing her. Now schools re-opened and there's only 3 months left, and I still can't meet her. But I got to chat with her now.

Sometimes I wonder if this was fate even though I don't believe in that stuff. But I really wish that it was fate. Probably a coincidence.
Now I have only one goal in mind,

We used to be VERY close friends in childhood, then we drifted off due to certain matters, now I want to re-build that friendship. I will give anything to do that.

Do I still love her in my mind?
-yes I do. I love her and respect her soooo much. But I have no hope of being with her. It's like I said, she's not ready for love and it's my duty to respect that.

I have never felt this kind of feeling with any other girls, there are MANY pretty girls in my school but she's the only one I'm zinged to. Guess this is life...

I wish for her to have a beautiful life . If she one day ends up with a man, he better show her some respect, he better love her more than I do, her better shower her with care Sooo much. Because she deserves All the love and devotion in this world. She will always be someone special to me. Maybe even a funny love story to tell my future children.

When listening to this song,... All of my childhood memories of her.. flashed through my mind, Im bery close to crying, but there is people in my room. I'm not lying when I say there's a slight pain in my chest, but it doesn't matter though.


Edit: it always hurts doesn't it?... You love someone special Sooo much and they're not ready for it, and you have to love them enough to let them go... They will never understand how much painful it feels but it's not their fault. It's never their fault, that's what hurts the most. Always wish your crush a good, healthy, and happy life because that's the right thing to do.


Edit: situation update. Now I'm in college, 20 yrs old . She is now married to another guy( her father forced her hand into marriage) . I went to the gym, got ripped now in relationship with another girl who's really great. She knows my history,and loves me even more for it. She always listens to my troubles, while letting me lay my head on her lap. We've been growing more and more intimate with each other recently, sexually and otherwise. Now that I think about my past, there is not a single thing I would like to change considering the kind of character i turned out to become. I'm more happier now and i have the people that came into my life to thank for , and that includes you guys in the comments section who's been comforting me all this time. You guys are awesome.
