Paramore - The Only Exception Video and Lyrics

The Only Exception by Paramore, Music Video and Lyrics

The Only Exception is the third single by American alternative rock band, Paramore, from their third album, “Brand New Eyes”.
The song is different for Paramore, it is much slower and less upbeat, it is deeply personal to singer Hayley Williams and the lyrics touch on how her parents’ relationship has influenced the way she deals with, and thinks about love. Hayley says of the release: “Now that it’s all said and on paper I’m not as insecure about [these lyrics] because I think these songs (on the album) form a full story that people are going to be able to connect with.”
It was released on April 19, 2010. The official music video for the song premiered on their official website on 17 February 2010.

Paramore - The Only Exception 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
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

Well, 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

Ohh

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
