[Florence]
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
[Florence & (Svetlana)]
Wasn't it good? (Oh so good.)
Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine.)
Isn't it madness?
[Both]
He can't be mine?
[Florence]
But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me--
More security
[Svetlana]
He needs his fantasy
And freedom
[Florence]
I know him so well
[Svetlana]
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
[Svetlana, simultaneous to Florence]
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
[Florence, simultaneous to Svetlana]
Looking back, I could have played it some other way
I was just a little careless, maybe
I was so much younger then
I know I know him well
[Svetlana & (Florence)]
Wasn't it good? (Oh so good.)
Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine.)
Isn't it madness?
[Both]
He won't be mine?
Didn't I know
How it would go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?
[Svetlana]
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
[Florence]
Isn't it madness?
[Both]
He won't be mine?
[Florence]
But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me--
More security
[Svetlana]
He needs his fantasy
And freedom
[Florence]
I know him so well
[Svetlana]
It took time to understand him
[Both]
I know him so well
