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 play 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 it fine.(Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine
But in the end
He needs a little beat 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 move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide
Looking back I could've played it differently
(Looking back I could have played things some other way)
Learned about the man before I fell
(I was just a little careless maybe)
But I was ever so much younger then (Much younger then)
Now at least I know
I know him well
Wasn't it good (Oh so good)
Wasn't it fine (Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine
Did I know, how it would go
If I know 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
