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'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.
