Текст (слова) песни «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.
