The Only Exception - Paramore

When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And cursed at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma 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
(bis x3)

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

'Cos none of it was ever worth the risk, but...

You are the only exception
(bis x6)

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

You are the only exception
(bis x7)

And I'm on my way to believing it
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing it
