The Only Exception -- 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 re-assemble it.
And my mamma swore she would  never let herself forget.  And that was the day
that I promised  I'd never sing of love if does not exist.  But darling..
You are the only exception (x4)


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 swore to myself  that I'm content with loneliness,
'cause none of it was ever worth the risk. But you are the only exception


I've got a tight grip on reality,  but I can't let go of whats part 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        And I'm on my way to believing..


 The song's lyrics pertain to the protagonist not believing that love exists and trying to live without it, mainly to avoid rejection, but eventually realizing that it does exist, describing the person as being their "only exception"                                                                 (wikipedia)
