I Know Him So Well

I KNOW HIM SO WELL FLORENCE Svetlana? SVETLANA Florence FLORENCE I don't know what to say SVETLANA There is nothing. I have seen what he really needs and I can'tgive that to him - you can FLORENCE You don't understand. What he really needs is you and his family- 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? SVETLANA Oh so good FLORENCE Wasn't he fine? SVETLANA Oh so fine FLORENCE Isn't it madness? BOTH He can't be mine? FLORENCE But in the end he needs a little bit more than me More security SVETLANA He needs his fantasy and freedom FLORENCE I know him so well SVETLANA 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 FLORENCE Looking back I could have played it differently SVETLANA Learned about the man before I fell FLORENCE I was just a little careless maybe SVETLANA But I was ever so much younger then FLORENCE Now at least I know him well SVETLANA Now at least BOTH I know I know him well SVETLANA Wasn't it good? FLORENCE Oh so good SVETLANA Wasn't he fine? FLORENCE Oh so fine SVETLANA Isn't it madness BOTH He won't be mine? Didn't I know How it would go? If I knew from the start Why am I falling apart? SVETLANA Wasn't it good? Wasn't he fine FLORENCE Isn't it madness BOTH He won't be mine? FLORENCE Isn't it madness BOTH He won't be mine? FLORENCE But in the end he needs a little bit more than me - More security SVETLANA He needs his fantasy and freedom FLORENCE I know him so well SVETLANA It took time to understand him BOTH I know him so well.
