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'd move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide
Looking back
Looking back
I could have played it differently
I could have played it some other way
