Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me

Wanting far too much for far too long

Looking back I could have played 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
More 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 move my world to be with him

Still the gap between us is too wide

Looking back I could have played it differently

(Looking back I could have played things 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
(Much younger then)
Now at least I know him well

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 won'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
More security
He needs his fantasy and freedom

I know him so well
It took time to understand him
I know him so well
