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 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
|
Learned about the man before I fell
|
But I was ever so much younger then
|
|
Wasn't it good (oh so good), Wasn't it fine (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 it 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
|
It took some to understand him
|
Hoo ooh I know him so well
|
