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
One of 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, she needs 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
Planned about the man before I fell
But I was ever 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 he fine? Isn't it madness?
He won't be mine?

But in the end he needs a little bit
More than me more, she needs security
He needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
It took time to understand me
I know him so well
