I Know Him So Well

(альбом: Stages - 2012)

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

Wasn't it good? (Oh so good)
Wasn't he fine? (Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine? (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'd 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
(I was so much younger then)
Now at least I know I know him well
(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? (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
