I Know Him So Well Lyrics

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
