I Know Him So Well Songtext / Lyric

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 it 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. (Looking back I could have played things some other way).
Learned about the man before I fell...
But I was ever so much younger then. (I was just a little careless, maybe, I was so much younger then...)
Now at least I know, I know him well.
I know, I know him well.

Wasn't it good? Oh so good!
Wasn't it 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 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!
