Not Exactly Songtext
von Rainbirds

I am said alright but what a waste of time
I held you much too close and now there′s something missing
But I can't see the empty space
Something else has taken place

I am said alright but what a waste of tears
I held you much too close and now there′s someone missing
She is gone without a trace
Just the expression on her face

What a waste
There's a flame, there's a fire, there′s a body burning up


And a bird on a shape made of steel
Oh, he keeps on singing
It′s not exactly what you think
No, not exactly what you see
It's not exactly what you′ve learned
And what you will be learning
No, not exactly what you think
No, not exactly what you see
It's not exactly what you′ve learned
And what you will be learning

I am said alright but what a waste of breath
I'm only talking to relieve
Oh, though there′s no one listening
Yeah, he is gone without a trace
Just the expression on his face

Who's to blame
There's a flame, there′s a fire, there′s a body burning up
And a bird on a shape made of steel
Oh, he keeps on singing

No, not exactly
No, not exactly
No, not exactly


No, not exactly
It's not exactly what you think
No, not exactly what you see
It′s not exactly what you've learned
And what you will be learning
No, not exactly what you think
No, not exactly what you see
It′s not exactly what you've learned
And what you will be learning

It′s not exactly what you think

Not exactly what you see
It's not exactly what you've learned
And what you will be learning

I tell you what a waste alright
