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?

(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)

Learned about the man

Before I fell

(I was just a little careless)

But I was ever so much younger then

(Maybe so much younger then)

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 won't be mine?

Didn't I know?

How it would go

If I knew from the start

Why am I falling apart?

Wasn't it good

Wasn't he fine?

Isn't it madness

He won'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

It took time to understand him

I know him so well.
