Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
perfect situations must go wrong;
but this has never yet prevented me
waiting far too much for far too long-
looking it 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 him I know him well.

Wasn’t it good? (Oh, so good!)
Wasn’t it 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.

He won’t be mine?
Didn’t I know how it could go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?

He can’t be mine!
I know him so well,
I know him so well…
