The Only Exception Lyrics By Paramore

    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
    you are the only exception
    you are the only exception
    you are the only exception

    maybe i know somewhere
    deep in my soul that love never lasts
    and we’ve got to find other ways
    to make it alone but 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
    you are the only exception
    you are the only exception
    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

    you are the only exception
    you are the only exception
    you are the only exception
    you are the only exception
    you are the only exception
    you are the only exception
    you are the only exception
    you are the only exception

    and i’m on my way to believing
    oh and i’m on my way to believing
