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?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness
He can't be mine?

But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me --
More security
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
But I was Ever so much
Younger then Now at least
I know I know him well

Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness
Oh so good
Oh so fine
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 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
It took time to understand him
I know him so well
