I Know Him So Well - Chess

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 move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide.
Looking back I could
Have played things
Some other way
* Looking back I could
 Have played it
 Differently
 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
Now at least
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

* Didn't I know
How it would go?
** If I knew from the start
   Why am I falling apart?

** 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
