I Know Him so Well

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From wanting far too much, for far too longLooking back, I could have done 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 wellWasn't it good, wasn't he fine
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine
But in the end, he needs
A little bit more than me for security (his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so wellNo one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I moved my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wideLooking back, I could've 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 wellWasn't it good, wasn't he 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 apartWasn't he fine
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine
But in the end, he needs
A little bit more than me for security
I know him so wellIt took some time to understand him
Ooh, I know him so well
