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 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.

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.

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

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, whoa.

And I'm on my way to believing.

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