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

Wasn't it good? oh so good

Wasn't he fine? oh so 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

Noone in your life is with you constantly

Noone 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 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 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
