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 or 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 Learned 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 can'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? (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 It took time to understand him I know him so well
