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

Wasn't it good (oh so good), wasn't it fine (so fine)
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
