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, but 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 move my world to be with him Still the gap between us is too wide Looking back, I could have 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) But I was ever so much younger then (I was 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
