I Know Him So Well (lyrics)

Basically, this is how I'm feeling right now about my relationship with Travis. I know it's going to end, and perhaps it might be ending sooner than I would like it to, but... I just don't know anymore. Anyway, this is the song "I Know Him So Well" from the musical 'Chess'

I Know Him So Well

Verse 1:

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.

Chorus: 

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.

Verse 2:

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 I know him well.)

Now at least I know I know him well.

Chorus:

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.
