Impossible - The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart

Fell asleep at 23

Trouble came and trouble stayed

Took up with a split-lipped kid

Who read Genet but fell away

And we can take two like we used to

And you can hit me if you think it’ll help

But it’s impossible to see you

When it’s impossible to tell

If I love you

When you treat me like you do

And I know you’re impossible

Say I’m impossible too

I’ve forgotten the names of the pale-faced saints

Hanging on your bedroom wall

But I remember the blue of your homemade tattoo

Said «all apart and no fall»

Now I’m checking myself in the passenger mirror

And it’s clear that I’m not a kid

But I still want to dance and I still want to fight

And I still wear your scarf and you still pull it tight

Cause I love you

When you treat me like you do

And I know you’re impossible

Say I’m impossible too

I try so hard to be like you, you just laugh and send me away

When I think I’ll never see you again, you come and stay

I know it makes no difference crying, though I do

When I know you’re impossible

Say I’m impossible too

(Impossible)

(Impossible)

Impossible too

(Impossible)

Impossible too

(Impossible)
