i know him so well lyrics

Nothing is so good it last eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From wanting far too much for far too long

Looking back, I could have done it differently
Won't 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 it good?)
Wasn't it fine?
(Wasn't it fine?)
Isn't it madness? He can't be mine

But in the end he needs a little bit more than before
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 that we start love and know him well

Wasn't it good?
(Oh so good)
Wasn't it fine?
(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?

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

But in the end, he needs a little bit more than before
Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well

It took some to understand him
I know him so well
