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 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
Learned 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 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
