Impossible

James Arthur · Other Songs - James Arthur

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 worst

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 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
