[Chess in Concert, Idina Menzel, Kerry Ellis - I Know Him So Well 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 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 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
Looking back
I could have played it some other way
I was just a little careless, maybe
I was so much younger then
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
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 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
Looking back
I could have played it some other way
I was just a little careless, maybe
I was so much younger then
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
