"Count On You," by John Michael Howell, is a song that describes the aftermath of a relationship where one party leaves without explanation and the other is left feeling hurt and betrayed. The lyrics describe the suddenness of the breakup and the confusion and pain the narrator feels. The repeated counting in the chorus and bridge serves to highlight the feeling of being left to pick up the pieces and start over.
The chorus emphasizes the hurt and disappointment the narrator feels. He never thought the relationship would end, especially not like this. The line, "Oh, I wish that it was true when you told me I could count on you," suggests that the narrator trusted his partner and thought he could rely on them to be there for him, but that trust was betrayed.
"Impossible" is a modern ballad sung by James Arthur. The subject of the story is love and heartbreak. The meaning of this ballad is that even though one may trust their loved one and love them it does not mean that they will not get betrayed or hurt. Being cautious yet giving your all is very important because you may get stabbed by the person you least expect. Dealing with heartbreak is hard and completely breaks the person into pieces. A line from the ballad states, "I remember years ago someone told me I should take caution when it comes from love," which means that love can also be very painful and you should not run into it without expecting any loss or pain. In life people change and break their promises, and you should be ready to overcome that. Also another line in the ballad states, "Tell them I was happy and my heart is broken all my scars are open tell them what I hoped would be impossible," which means that he is completely hopeless and heartbroken. The pain caused from a lost love and trust is worse than physical pain, and he expected pure love but it ended up being impossible.
