John Barrowman - I Know Him So Well (Solo) Lyrics

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 it fine (oh so fine)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end, he needs a little 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 another 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
(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 can't be mine

Didn't I know (didn't I know) how it would go
If I knew from the start
Why, why am I falling apart
He can't be mine

But in the end, he needs a little bit more than before
More security, he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
It took time to understand him
I know him so well
