Chess 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 hoping for too much for far too long Looking back I could have played it differently Wond 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 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 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) Learned about the man before I fell (I was just a little careless, maybe) 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 (He needs his fantasy and freedom) I know him so well It took time to understand him I know him so well
