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 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
Looking back, I could have played things some other way I was just a little careless, maybe 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 (Didn’t I know) How it would go? If I knew from the start Why? 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
