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 bit 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've played it differently Learned about the man before I fell But I was ever so much younger then 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 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 it fine Isn't it madness he can'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 some time to understand him I know him so well
