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
