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

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 now I could have played it some other way)
Learned about the man before I fell
(I was just a little careless)
But I was ever so much younger then
(Maybe, 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 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.
This song is from the album "Performance", "Love Hurts" and "Centre Stage: The Very Best Of".
