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, she needs 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   Planned 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? 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 he fine? Isn't it madness?   He won't be mine?      But in the end he needs a little bit   More than me more, she needs security   He needs his fantasy and freedom   I know him so well   It took time to understand me   I know him so well
