Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From hoping for 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 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
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
(Looking back I could have played 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
