The Only Exception Song Lyrics by Paramore
When I was younger, I saw my daddy cryAnd curse at the windHe broke his own heart and I watchedAs he tried to reassemble itAnd my momma sworeThat she would never let herself forgetAnd that was the day that I promisedI’d never sing of love if it does not exist
But darling, you are the only exceptionYou are the only exceptionYou are the only exceptionYou are the only exception
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soulThat love never lastsAnd we’ve got to find other ways to make it aloneOr keep a straight faceAnd I’ve always lived like thisKeeping a comfortable distanceAnd up until now I had sworn to myselfThat I’m content with lonelinessBecause none of it was ever worth the risk
But you are the only exceptionYou are the only exceptionYou are the only exceptionYou are the only exception
I’ve got a tight grip on realityBut I can’t let go of what’s in front of me hereI know you’re leaving in the morning when you wake upLeave me with some kind of proof it’s not a dream
You are the only exceptionYou are the only exceptionYou are the only exceptionYou are the only exception
You are the only exceptionYou are the only exceptionYou are the only exceptionYou are the only exception
And I’m on my way to believing
Oh, and I’m on my way to believing
