This is another one that you might want to listen to the recording along with. The lyrics overlap at several points, and it can get confusing. However, I think they work pretty well, and this is one of the ones I'm proudest of. (Especially since I wrote it during class. Hey, it's amazing what musings a boring lecture can produce.)
Lucy
How could I have been the fool that I have been?
How could I have thought that this would last?
From the beginning we were doomed to be
Two hearts torn asunder by the past
There was nothing I could do against this fate
Differences too strong for love to fell
But he has opened up his heart to me
Now at least I know I know him well
Wasn’t it good?
Chauvelin
Oh, so good
Lucy
Wasn’t he fine?
Chauvelin
Oh, so fine
Lucy
Isn’t it madness
Both
He/She can’t be mine
Lucy
But I know he needs something that is more than me--
More than company . . .
Chauvelin
She needs some cause she can believe in . . .
Lucy
I know him so well
Chauvelin
She was never meant to live this kind of way
Loving someone, hating what he is
Deserving someone she can love and trust
Settling for someone she is with
I knew she would be the one to comfort me
Lucy
Nothing that I could have done . . .
Chauvelin
Save me from my self-created hell
Lucy
We’re just too far apart . . .
Chauvelin
But I don’t want her giving up her life
Lucy
Opened his heart to me . . .
Chauvelin
For a man whom she knows all too well
Lucy
I know I know him well
Chauvelin
Wasn’t it good?
Lucy
Oh, so good
Chauvelin
Wasn’t she fine?
Lucy
Oh, so fine
Chauvelin
Isn’t it madness
Both
She/He won’t be mine
Didn’t I know
How it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?
Chauvelin
Wasn’t it good?
Wasn’t she fine?
Lucy
Isn’t it madness
Both
She/He won’t be mine
Lucy
But I know he needs something that is more than me--
Needs his liberty
Chauvelin
She needs someone she can believe in
Lucy
I know him so well
Chauvelin
I’d rather die than see her suffering . . .
Both
I know her/him so well
