[Verse 1]
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 fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end
He needs a little more than before

Security
He needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well

[Verse 2]
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

Wasn't it good (oh, so good)
Wasn't it fine (so fine)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine

[Bridge]
Didn't I know how it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart

[Chorus]
Wasn't it fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end
He needs a little more than before

Security
He needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well

It took some to understand him
Hoo, ooh
I know him so well
