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 now 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.
