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 Wasn't it good? 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 is 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 Learned about the man before I fell But I was ever so much younger then Now at least I know, I know him well Wasn't it good? Wasn't it 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 good? 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 is fantasy and freedom I know him so well It took some time to understand him I know him so well
