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'd move my world to be with him,
Still the gap between us is too wide,
Looking back, | (Looking back)
I could have played it differently,
(I could have played it some other way),
Won a few more moments, | Who can tell,
(I was just a little careless)
But I was ever so much younger then,
(Maybe, so much younger then)
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 won'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 good | Wasn't he fine? | Isn't it madness, | He won'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.
