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 I could have played it differently

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 I know him well
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.
