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

I know him so well (vervolg)

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
He needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
It took time to understand him
I know him so well.
