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
One of 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
Could have played things some other way.
Learn about the man before I fell
(I was just a little careless)
But I was ever so much younger then.
(I was 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 new from the start
Why I am 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 understanding
I know him so well.
