Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect _1_ 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 _2_
Won a few more _3_ , who can tell?
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know, I know him well
Wasn't it good, Wasn't it fine
Isn't it _4_ he can't be mine
But in the end, he needs a little more than before
Security, he needs his fantasy and _5_
I know him so well
No one in your life is with you _6_
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my _7_ to be with him
Still the _8_ 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 _9_ then
Wasn't it good (oh so good), Wasn't it fine (so fine)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
Didn't I know how it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart
