The Only Exception

Paramore - The Only Exception



When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind

He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to reassemble it

And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget

And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love if it does not exist



But, darling, you are the only exception

But you are the only exception

But you are the only exception

But you are the only exception



Well, maybe I know somewhere, deep in my soul that love never lasts

And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance

And up until now, I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk



Well, you are the only exception

Well, you are the only exception

Well, you are the only exception

Well, you are the only exception



I've got a tight grip on reality but I can't let go of what's in front of me here

I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up

Leave me with some kind of proof, it's not a dream, oh~





You are the only exception





And I'm on my way to believing

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
