Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Looking back I could have played it differently
Won a few more moments, who can tell?
But it took time to understand men
Now at least I know, I know him well
[Verse 3]
Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good)
Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine)
Isn't it madness? He can't be mine
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Looking back I could have played it differently (Some other way)
Won a few more moments, who can tell?
(I was just a little careless, maybe)
But I was ever so much younger then (I was so much younger then)
Now at least I know, I know him well
[Verse 7]
Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good)
Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine)
Isn't it madness? He won't be mine
[Verse 8]
Didn't I know (Didn't I know)
How it would go if I knew from the start?
Why am I falling apart?
[Verse 9]
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine? (So fine)
Isn't it madness? He won't be mine
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
I know him so well
