Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Wasn't it good? (Wasn't it good?)
Wasn't it fine? (Wasn't it fine?)
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine?
But in the end, he needs a little more than before
[Verse 4]
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 (Looking back)
I could have played it differently (Differently)
Learned about the man before I fell
But I was ever so much younger then
Now at least I know, I know him well
[Verse 7]
Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good)
Wasn't it fine? (So fine)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine?
[Verse 8]
Didn't I know how it would go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?
[Verse 9]
Wasn't it fine? (Wasn't it fine?)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end, he needs a little more than before
[Verse 10]
Security
(He needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well
[Verse 11]
It took some to understand him
Hoo, ooh
I know him so well
