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 it fine (oh so fine)

Isn't it madness he can't be mine

But in the end, he needs a little 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, I could have played things another way)

Learned about the man before I fell

(I was just a little careless maybe)

But I was ever so much younger then now at least

(Now at least I know him well)

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 (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 before

More security, he needs his fantasy and freedom

I know him so well

It took time to understand him

I know him so well
