I Know Him So Well by Susan Boyle

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

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 well
Wasn't it good? (Oh so good) 

Wasn't he fine? (Oh so fine) 

Isn't it madness 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 (Looking back) 

I could have played it differently
(I could have played it some other way)

  Learned about the man 

Before I fell (I was just a little careless)  

But I was ever so much younger then (Maybe 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.
