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.
