Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
So Impossible
[Verse 1]
It ended how it ended
I'm not really trippin', I won't pay attention
To the lies you had given
Wasn't really in it the way that you should've been
And I guess you know I so moved on
Once again took a chance to try
But my heart's still beating (Beating, beating, beating)
For love
[Verse 2]
(Yeah, see, see my heart)
My heart just wouldn't let me walk away (And I knew)
And I knew if you didn't leave, I woulda stayed (Every day)
I couldn't keep pretending everything was okay (No more hurt)
I don't wish no hurt the way that you hurt me
[Pre-Chorus]
There ain't no easy way to let it slip away
But it was a bittersweet goodbye
'Cause honestly, baby (Honestly), everything was wrong
But you were too caught up to ever notice on your own
[Chorus]
I made you not love me, so that I could leave (I could leave)
I did things to make you change your mind about me (Me)
We were no good for each other
Just thinking how I changed things
'Cause me leaving you was so impossible
[Verse 3]
It is what it is
We're just not meant to be
I'm not meant for you and you're not meant for me
No, ain't no need for us to deny
What we had was so gone
'Cause my heart's still beating
For love
(Ayy, see, my heart)
See, my heart just wouldn't let me walk away (And I knew)
'Cause I knew if you didn't leave I woulda stayed (Every day)
I couldn't keep pretending everything was okay (No more hurt)
I still don't wish no hurt the way that you hurt me
[Pre-Chorus]
There ain't no easy way to watch him slip away, girl
'Cause it's like a bittersweet, I know
But honestly, yeah (Honestly), look at me, see, it's alright
You just don't be too caught up to take a notice of your own
[Chorus]
I made you not love me (Oh yeah), so that I could leave (So I could leave)
I did things to make you change your mind about me (Oh-oh)
We were no good for each other (Can ya, can ya understand?)
Just thinking how I changed things
'Cause me leaving you was so impossible
(I know it, so impossible)
[Bridge]
But I wouldn't let it, let the impossible
Hold me back from (Back from) moving on with my life (My life)
Although it was so hard for me (Hard)
To just leave you alone
It ended how it ended
I'm not really trippin', I won't pay attention
But my heart's still beating (Beating, beating, beating)
[Outro]
So, there is no way there that could ever be us again
I gave you, I gave you, I gave you way too much of me
And it's time I see that it wasn't meant for me
But it is so impossible
Hey, hey, hey
