Nothing it 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
Learned about the man before I fell
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 fantasies 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 him is too much

Looking back I could have played it differently
One or a few more who can tell
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 can't be mine

Didn't I know
How it would go from the start if I knew
Why am I falling apart?

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 bit more than me
(More security)
He needs his fantasies and freedom
I know him so well

It took time to understand him
I know him so well
