Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Falling out of love is hard

Falling for betrayal is worse

Broken trust and broken hearts

I know, I know

And thinking all you need is there

Building faith on love and words

Empty promises will wear

I know, I know

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

I remember years ago

Someone told me I should take

Caution when it comes to love, I did

[Chorus]

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 I hoped, hoped would be

[Outro]

Impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible (Impossible, impossible)

Impossible, impossible, impossible (Impossible, impossible)

Impossible
