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
Wasnt it good?
(Oh so good)
Wasnt he fine?
(Oh so fine)
Isnt it madness,
He cant 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 Id 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
Wasnt it good?
(Oh so good)
Wasnt he fine?
(Oh so fine)
Isnt it madness,
He wont be mine?
Didnt I know?
How it would go,
If I knew from the start,
Why am I falling apart?
Wasnt it good
Wasnt he fine?
Isnt it madness,
He wont 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.
