I Know Him So Well (Musical "Chess")

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 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...
Wasn't it good? (It was so good)
Wasn't it fine? (It was so fine)
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine
But in the end
He needs a little bit more than before
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 too wide
Looking 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 well
Wasn't it good? (It was so good)
Wasn't it fine? (It was so fine)
Isn't it madness, he won't be mine
Did I know, how it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart...
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't it fine?
Isn't it madness?
He won't be mine
But in the end
He needs a little bit more than before
Security (He needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well
It took some time to understand him
I know him so well
