paramore: the only exception

[brightdarkness]

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

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, 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

cause none of it was ever worth the risk

well, 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'll leave in the morning when you wake up
leave me with some sort of proof it's not a dream

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

and I'm on my way to believing.
