I Know Him So Well (Live)

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 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 I was 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.
