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


Wasn't it good?
(Oh so good)
Wasn't he fine?

(Oh so 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


No-one in your life is with you constantly
No-one is completely on your side

And though I'd move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide


Looking back
(Looking back)
I could have played it differently

(I could have played it some other way)
Learned about the man
Before I fell

(I was just a little careless)
But I was ever so much younger then
(Maybe 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 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
