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:
Wasn't it good (wasn't it good)?
Wasn't it 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 before,
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've 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.
Chorus:
Wasn't it good (oh, so good)?
Wasn't it 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 it fine (so fine)?
Isn't it madness? He can't be mine.
But in the end, he needs a little bit more than before,
Security (he needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well!
It took some time to understand him
Ooh, I know him so well.
