I Know Him So Well

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally Perfect situations must go wrong But this has never yet prevented me From wanting far too much for far too long Looking back, I could have done 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 more than before 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 (I could have played it some other way) Learned about the man before I fell (I was just a little careless, maybe) But I was ever so much younger then (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 can't be mine? Didn't I know how it would go? If I knew from the start Why am I falling apart Wasn't he 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 before Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom I know him so well It took time to understand him I know him so well
