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
