Impossible
Marlisa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did
And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot
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 roof tops
Write it on the sky line
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
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 roof tops
Write it on the sky line
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
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 roof tops
Write it on the sky line
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...
The song "Impossible" by Marlisa is a heart-wrenching ballad about a failed relationship that has left the singer with a broken heart and a deep sense of regret. The lyrics start with her remembering a warning from someone years ago about being cautious when it comes to love. She admits that she did not take this advice and got hurt, while the person she was with seemed to come out stronger. She acknowledges her mistake and regrets not being more careful.
The chorus talks about how their love is now gone, and she has nothing to say to him. She feels defeated and expresses her heartbreak by shouting from the rooftops and writing on the skyline. She wants him to know that even though they had moments of happiness, it all came to an end, and now all her scars are open. She accepts that what she had hoped would happen between them is now impossible.
The second verse speaks about how falling out of love can be hard, but falling for someone who betrays you is worse. She had built her faith on their love and words, but his promises turned out to be empty. She admits to knowing that it all ended badly, but now she is done with him embarrassing her, and she wants him to go ahead and tell them all about it. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing that what she had wanted for them is impossible now.

I remember years ago
I recall a time in the past
Someone told me I should take
A person advised me to be cautious
Caution when it comes to love
They warned me to be careful with love
I did
I followed their advice
And you were strong and I was not
You were emotionally stronger than I was
My illusion, my mistake
I mistakenly believed our love was real
I was careless, I forgot
I became careless and forgot to be cautious
And now when all is done
Now that everything has ended
There is nothing to say
There are no more words to be spoken
You have gone and so effortlessly
You left easily and without struggle
You have won
You emerged as the victor
You can go ahead tell them
You can inform others about our ending
Tell them all I know now
Inform them of all the knowledge I have gained
Shout it from the roof tops
Announce it to everyone loudly and boldly
Write it on the sky line
Make it known to the world
All we had is gone now
Everything that we shared is now over
Tell them I was happy
Inform them that I found happiness in our relationship
And my heart is broken
However, my heart has been shattered
All my scars are open
All of my emotional wounds are exposed
Tell them what I hoped would be
Inform them of my desires
Impossible, impossible
Even though it was impossible
Falling out of love is hard
Losing feelings for someone is difficult
Falling for betrayal is worse
But falling for someone who betrays you is worse
Broken trust and broken hearts
Because it leads to broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know
I am aware of this
Thinking all you need is there
Believing that all you need is love
Building faith on love and words
Placing your trust in love and verbal promises
Empty promises will wear
But empty promises will eventually fade
I know
I understand this now
And now when all is gone
Now that everything has ended
There is nothing to say
There are no more words to be spoken
And if you're done with embarrassing me
If you are finished with shaming me
On your own you can go ahead tell them
Then you can tell others on your own
Impossible, impossible
Even though it was impossible
Impossible, impossible
Even though it was impossible
Impossible, impossible
Even though it was impossible
