Impossible
runaground 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

And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot
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 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, I know...

And now when all is done
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
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible




Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

Line by Line Meaning

I remember years ago
Recalling memories from years ago


Someone told me I should take
Some advice was offered to me


Caution when it comes to love
Be cautious when it comes to love


I did
I followed the advice


And you were strong and I was not
You were strong but I was not


My illusion, my mistake
My mistake was being deceived by an illusion


I was careless, I forgot
I forgot to be careful


I did
I was careless once again


And now when all is done
Now that everything is over


There is nothing to say
There are no words left to speak


You have gone and so effortlessly
You left so easily


You have won
You have succeeded over me


You can go ahead tell them
You can tell others about our situation


Tell them all I know now
Tell everyone what I learned from this


Shout it from the roof tops
Announce it to the world


Write it on the sky line
Make it visible to everyone


All we had is gone now
What we had is now gone


Tell them I was happy
Let them know I was happy


And my heart is broken
But now my heart is broken


All my scars are open
All my wounds are now exposed


Tell them what I hoped would be
Let them know what I wanted


Impossible, impossible
But it turned out to be impossible


Falling out of love is hard
Losing love is difficult


Falling for betrayal is worse
Losing trust is even worse


Broken trust and broken hearts
Trust and hearts can both break


Thinking all you need is there
Believing you have all you need


Building faith on love and words
Believing in love and words


Empty promises will wear
Empty promises will disappoint you


And if you're done with embarrassing me
And if you're done humiliating me


On your own you can go ahead tell them
You can tell them on your own


Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, hoped would be
What I hoped for
