Nothing is so good it lasts eternally

Perfect situations must go wrong

But this has never yet prevented me

From hoping far too much for far too long

Looking back I could have played it differently

Wond 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

Things some other way

Learned about the man before I fell

I was just a little careless maybe

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
