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,
