I Know Him So Well

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally,
Perfect situations must go wrong,
But that has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long.
Looking back I could have played it differently,
Bought 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 can’t be mine.
Didn’t I know how it would go if I knew from the start,
Why am I falling apart?
