nothing is so good it lasts eternally
perfect situations must go wrong
but this has never yet prevented me
from wanting far too much for far too long
looking back i could have done 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 wasn't it fine
isn't it madness he can't be mine
but in the end he needs a little more than before
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
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 bracketed wasn't it fine bracketed
isn't it madness he can'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 fine
isn't it madness he can't be mine
but in the end he needs a little more than before
security he needs his fantasy and freedom
i know him so well
it took some to understand him
hoo ooh i know him so well
