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? (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 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 (I could have played it 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 (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?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart
Wasn't he 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 before
Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
It took time to understand him
I know him so well
