I Know Him So Well

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally

Perfect situations must go wrong

But this has never yet prevented me

From wanting far too much for far too long

Looking back I could have done 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 Wasn't it fine

Isn't it madness he can't be mine

But in the end he needs a little more than before

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

Learned about the man before I fell

But I was ever so much younger then

Wasn't it good (oh so good) Wasn't it fine (so fine)

Isn't it madness he can'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 fine

Isn't it madness he can't be mine

But in the end he needs a little more than before

Security he needs his fantasy and freedom

I know him so well

It took some to understand him

Hoo ooh I know him so well
