Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
For 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 men
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
I know him so well

No one in your life
Is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I'd move my world
To be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide

Looking back
I could have played it differently
Won a few more moments, who can tell
But I was ever so much younger then
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 he good, wasn't he fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end
He needs a little bit more than me
More security
I know him so well
