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 him
I know him well
Wasn't it good wasn't it fine
Isn't it madnees
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 madnees
he can't be mine
But in the end
he needs a liitle bit
more than before
Security he needs
his fantasy and frreedom
I know him so well
It took time
to understand him
I know him so well
