Both together

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've

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

Wasn't it good

Oh, so good

Wasn't he fine

Oh, so fine

Isn't it madness

He can't be mine

But in the end he needs

a little bit more than me

more 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

have played it differently

Looking back, I could

have played things

some other way

Learned about the man

before I fell

I was just a little

careless maybe

But I was ever

so much younger then

Now at least

I know him well

Now at least

I know I know him well

Wasn't it good

Oh, so good

Wasn't he fine

Oh, so fine

Isn't it madness

He won'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 he fine

Isn't it madness

He won't be mine

But in the end he needs

a little bit more than me

more security...

He needs his fantasy

and freedom

I know him so well...

It took time

to understand him

I know him so well...
