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 moved 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 (I was just a little careless)
But I was ever so much younger then
And 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?
Didn’t I know? didn’t I know?
How it would go if I knew from the start?
Why, why am I falling apart?
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…
It took time to understand him,
I know him so well…
