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, I could have played it some other way)
Learned a little more before I fell (I was just a little careless)
But I was ever so much younger then (Maybe, I was so much younger then)
Now at least I know I know him well (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.
