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

[FLORENCE]
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness
He can't be mine?

[SVETLANA]
Oh so good
Oh so fine

He can't be mine?

[FLORENCE]
But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me --
More security

[SVETLANA]
He needs his fantasy
And freedom

[FLORENCE]
I know him so well.

[SVETLANA]
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.

[FLORENCE]

Looking back I could
Have played things
Some other way

[SVETLANA]

Looking back I could
Have played it
Differently

Learned about the man
Before I fell

[FLORENCE]
I was just a little
Careless maybe

[SVETLANA]
But I was
Ever so much
Younger then
Now at least

[FLORENCE]
Now at least
I know him well

[BOTH]
I know I know him well

[SVETLANA]

Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness

[FLORENCE]

Oh so good
Oh so fine

[BOTH]
He won't be mine?
Didn't I know
How it would go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?

[SVETLANA]

Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?

[FLORENCE]

Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?

[SVETLANA]
He won't be mine?

[FLORENCE]
But in the end he needs a
Little bit more than me --
More security

[SVETLANA]
He needs his
Fantasy and freedom

[FLORENCE]
I know him so well

[SVETLANA]
It took time to understand him

[BOTH]
I know him so well
