Lyrics
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 (looking back)
I could have played it differently
(I could have played it some other way)
Won a few moments, who can tell?
(I was just a little careless, maybe)
But I was ever so much younger then
(I was 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?
(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?
(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
It took time to understand him
I know him so well
