I Know Him So Well

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 moved my world to be with him

Still the gap between us is too wide

Looking back I could've 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, why am I falling apart?

He can't be mine

But in the end, he needs a little bit more than me

More security, I know him so well

It took time to understand him

I know him so well
