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'd move my world to be with him,

Still the gap between us is too wide,



Looking back,

(Looking back)

I could have played it differently,

(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.
