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...
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 beat more than before
Security needs his fantasy and
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 too wide
Looking back I could've played it 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
Wasn't it good' wasn't it fine
Isn't it madness'  he can't be mine
Did I know' how it would go
If I know from the start
Why am I falling apart... he can't be mine
