Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From wanting far too much, for far too long....

Looking back, I could have done 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

 [bad word] 
Wasn't it good (Wasn't it good)
Wasn't he fine (Wasn't it fine)
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine
But in the end, he needs a little bit more than me
For security (he needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well....

No one in your life is with you constantly
No one [bad word] on your side, 
And though I moved my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide...
Looking back (Looking back), I could've played it differently (differently)
Learned about the man before I fell, 
But I was ever so much younger then
Now at least I know, I know him well...

 [bad word] 
Wasn't it good (oh so good)
Wasn't he fine (so fine)
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine
Didn't I know, how it would go 
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart...

Wasn't he fine (Wasn't it fine)
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine
But in the end, he needs a little bit more than me
For security (he needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well....

It took some time to understand him
I know him so well
