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 it fine (oh so fine)
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine
But in the end he needs a little bit more than before
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
Learned about the man before I fell
But I was ever so much younger then
Now at least I know I know him well

Wasn't it good, wasn't it 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 (oh so good), wasn't it fine. (oh so fine)
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine
But in the end he needs a little bit more than before
Security (He needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well

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