Impossible

Rub soap in my eyes
Wash off your face
One so self-loathing
Should lift without a trace
So I can't help but ask
Why you left this big salt-water stain

It's impossible to know
And it's even worse to try
You'd find less reason
If we'd quit asking why
But I can't help myself
So how could I help you

You're impossible
I knew
From a long way off
You're impossible
To lose
And you're hard enough to love

One cracked hand-mirror
The one you took to heart
One man that ugly
He'll tear us both apart
And you won't face him down
So maybe I'm not the one to blame

It's impossible to say
And I'm less inclined to hear
Why I was sleeping
With the skeletons you fear
But you won't face yourself
So how could you face me

You're impossible
It's true
You're a long way off
You're impossible
To lose
And you're hard enough to love
