Title: I Know Him So Well







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. . . .

It took time to understand him. I know him so well.
