The Only Exception
Paramore Lyrics


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 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 darlin'

You are, the only exception
While you are, the only exception
While you are, the only exception
While you are, the only exception

While 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
And Keeping it 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

While you are, the only exception
While you are, the only exception
While you are, the only exception
While 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 your 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
You are, the only exception
You are, the only exception
While you are, the only exception

You are, the only exception
While you are, the only exception
You are, the only exception
While you are, the only exception

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

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

I'm crying for two reasons.
1. The nostalgia for when this song first released when I was in my earlier teens. A simpler time.
2. Knowing how much love hurts and knowing that my only exception, is not interested and never will be.

Kevin Lazo

Your not alone... :) we can hurt together 😢

Le Muse

Then she/he is NOT your only exception. That is just your perception. Anyone that doesn't want to go on your journey with you is just a passerby. Be strong and move forward. Never settle!

Caleb Eyre

I feel your pain man because I feel exactly the same... this was mine and my exes song and it turns out I wasn't her exception but she was mine
