I Know Him So Well lyrics

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
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'd move
my world
to be with him

Still the gap
between us
is too wide

Looking back
I could have
played it differently
some other way

Learned about the man
before I fell
I was just
a little careless

But I was ever
so much younger then
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
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 we...ll
