The Only Exception, Paramore Songtext

von Julia Nunes

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 re-assemble it.
And my mama swore that she would
Never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I would 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.

Baby I know somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone,
And keep a straight face.
And I've always lived like this,
Keeping a comfortable...
Distance.
Up until now I've
Sworn to myself
That I'm content
With lonliness.
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.
Ohhhhhhh.

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.
