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 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 I could have
played it differently
(have played it some otherway)
Learned about the man before I fell
(I was just a little careless)
But I was ever so much younger then
(Maybe, I was so much younger then)
Now at least I know I know him well
(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
