Impossible
Måns Zelmerlöw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These are the days when I can't forgive myself
Seeing those picture of you with someone else
I wish you were here to turn darkness into light
If you were here, tonight

I'd find a million ways to say I love you
Sing a million songs to make you smile
But I can't turn back time
And I can't make you mine
It's impossible

Don't ever think that I'm proud of what I've done
What we had in common, now it's gone

I'd find a million ways to say I love you
Sing a million songs to make you smile
But I can't turn back time
And I can't make you mine
It's impossible

It's impossible to bring you back
And even if I try to turn your heart
it's impossible to turn back time
It's impossible

(To even think that you would look my way)
To even think that you would look my way
(I know I only have myself to blame)
I know I only have myself to blame
I can try, but I still can't make you mine

I'd find a million ways to say I love you
Sing a million songs to make you smile
But I can't turn back time
And I can't make you mine
It's impossible

It's impossible to bring you back
And even if I try to turn your heart
It's impossible to turn back time
It's impossible

(To even think that you would look my way)
To even think that you would look my way
(I know I only have myself to blame)
I know I only have myself to blame
I can try, but I still can't make you mine

(To even think that you would look my way)
Can't make you mine
(I know I only have myself to blame)




Can't make you mine
I could try but I still can't make you mine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Måns Zelmerlöw's song "Impossible" tell the story of someone struggling to move on from a past relationship. The singer wishes their love interest was still with them so they could turn their life around and make everything okay again. However, they are plagued by regret and sadness after seeing pictures of their ex with someone else. The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to make things right, but their realization that it's impossible to turn back time or make their love interest love them again.


The second verse delves deeper into the singer's feelings of regret, revealing that they are not proud of their actions in the past that led to the end of the relationship. Despite this, they are still unable to change the situation and make their love interest come back to them.


Overall, "Impossible" is a heartfelt exploration of the pain and regret that can come from losing someone important in your life. It also highlights the idea that sometimes, no matter how much we want something, it's simply not possible to make it happen.
