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 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’ve sworn to myself
That I’m content with loneliness

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
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

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
Oh, and I’m on my way to believing

  1. I respect that she isnt a player, but instead respects herself and her own body. I believe she had a grandmother or previous generation that prayed for her

  2. Oh, and i'm on my way to believing, One of my favorites up until now.

  3. Vi a mi Rose cantando un cover de mi canción favorita y se me dio por escucharla unas mil veces más.

  5. I didn't like this song when it first came out, granted I was an angsty teen back then and I prefer Paramore's more fast paced songs. When I reached my 20's and now in my early 30's, I realized how incredible the song is. I play this in the loop alongside Katy Perry's Thinking of You.

  6. Wow i’ve been listening to this somg since gradeschool now I’m independent woman working and still love this song its 2022! Time flies really fast
