  • Mmm-mmm

    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 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

    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 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 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

    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 rooftops
    Write it on the skyline
    All we had is gone now
    Tell them I was happy
    And my heart is broken
    Oh, hoped would be impossible
    Impossible (impossible)
    Impossible (impossible)
    (Impossible)

    (Impossible) impossible
    (Impossible) impossible
    (Impossible)

  • Dave from Cardiff, Wales"This cover of Shontelle's hit song..."?! That's a laugh considering Shontelle's version was also a cover! It was originally written in 2005 by Arnthor Birgisson!
