[part i: i know him so well]

[verse 1]
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

[verse 2]
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

[chorus]
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

[verse 3]
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
[verse 4]
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

[chorus]
wasn’t it good?
wasn’t he fine?
isn’t it madness
he can’t be mine?

[bridge]
didn’t i know
how it would go?
if i knew from the start
why am i falling apart?

[chorus]
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
[part ii: anthem]

[verse 1]
no man, no madness
though their sad power may prevail
can possess, conquer my country’s heart
they rise to fail

[verse 2]
she is eternal
long before nations’ lines were drawn
when no flags flew, when no armies stood
my land was born

[pre+chorus]
and you ask me why i love her
through wars, death and despair
she is the constant
we who don’t care

[chorus]
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
