Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From wanting far too much, for far too long
Looking back, I could have done it differently
Won a few more moments, who can tell?
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know, I know him well
Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good!)
Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine!)
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine?
But in the end, he needs
A little bit more than me, my security (He needs his fantasy and freedom )
I know him so well
No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I moved my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide
Looking back, I could've played it differently (Could've played some other way)
Learned about the man before I fell (I was just a little careless maybe)
But I was ever so much younger then
Now at least I know, I know him well
Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good!)
Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine!)
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine?
Didn't I know, how it would go
If I knew from the start?
Why am I falling apart?
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness, he won't be mine?
But in the end, he needs
A little bit more than me, my security
(He needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well
It took time to understand him
I know him so well
