Song Lyrics

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) Learned about the man Before I fell (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.
