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've 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
I know I know him well
Wasn't it good
Wasn't he 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
