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
