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

Chorus:
Wasnt it good, wasnt it fine
Isnt it madness, he cant be mine
But in the end, he need a little bit more than before
Security (he needs fantacy 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 couldve played it 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...

Wasnt it good, wasnt it fine
Isnt it madness, he cant be mine
Didnt I know, how it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart...

Chorus

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