Lyrics

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?
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
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
Learned about the man before I fell
But I was ever so much younger then
Now at least I know I know him well
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he 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?
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me—
More security
I know him so well
I know him so well
No man, no madness
Though their sad power may prevail
Can possess, conquer my country's heart
They rise to fail
She is eternal
Long before nations' lines were drawn
When no flags flew, when no armies stood
My land was born
And you ask me why I love her
Through wars, death and despair
She is the constant
We who don't care
And you wonder will I leave her—but how?
I cross over borders but I'm still there now
How could I leave her?
Where would I start?
Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart
My land's only borders lie around my heart
