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 move my world to be with him

Still the gap between us is too wide



Looking back, I could have played it differently

(Looking back now 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.
