Not Exactly lyrics

i am sad 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 sad 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 and a fire and a body burning up and a bird on a shape made of steel ohoh he keeps on singing it`s not exactly what you think not exactly what you see not exactly what you`ve learned and what you will be learning i am sad alright but what a waste of breath i`m only talking to relieve although there`s noone listening he is gone without a trace just the expression on his face: who`s to blame? there`s a flame and a fire and a body burning up and a bird on a shape made of steel, ohoh he keeps on singing it`s not exactly what you think not exactly what you see not exactly what you`ve learned
