I Know Him So Well

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] Looking back I could have (Looking back I) Played it differently (Could have played things some other way) Learned about the man before I fell (I was just a little careless) But I was ever so much younger then (I was so much younger then) Now at least I know I know him well [Chorus] 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 [Outro] It took time to understand him I know him so well
