    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

    My mom's a 63 year old Korean woman who doesn't speak English well. This is one of her favorite songs despite not understanding most of the lyrics. She calls this the "daddy cry" song.

    I send this song to my man a year after we started dating.I dont believe it would last longer than it should.
    We both came from broken family and he doesnt believe in marriage.He told me usually relationship only lasted 4years before it go downwards.But for some reason we became stronger together than alone.Year after year.
    And 3years later we were married and this April it would be our 4th year wedding anniversary.True love does exist.
    Edit:
    Oh wow i didnt know anyone would notice this comment.
    Came back because suddenly i just miss this song!Yes i am still married to the same man.My baby just turned 4years old a week ago.
    Stay true to yourself,guys.Sometimes love will come when you least expecting it.I know it can be very lonely out there alone❤️

    I grew up listening to this song whenever I feel lonely, yearning for solace as a child. And now, I am ending my 2023 with, "I'd never sing of love if does not exist." I'll be leaving the adolescent angst I had for a while, but this song shall remain in my heart and soul.
    But maybe, someday... somewhere, I'll be on my way to believing as well. Thank you, Paramore- for writing this masterpiece.

      My wife told me the same kinda thing. She's much younger than I am, and we went to a Paramore concert last year. Afterwards, she told me that she understands it on a whole, different level, now...
      We both had to be beaten down to swear off of true love only to find each other: each the other's only exception.
      In 5 short years, we've been through more than many people go through in a lifetime and have never lost sight of what we have together.
      Your only exception will come into your life one day..believe it.

      This song came out when I was about 17. I’m 30 now. For me it’s about having more longer more sustained relationships and experiences as you grow older, and realizing that all of those previous people from my teenage years were experiences/lessons.

    My brother went through an ugly divorce when his daughter was 13. She was depressed for years, and then entered one abusive relationship after another until she finally just gave up on love. Told everyone she was just going to stay a single crazy cat lady for the rest of her life. Then she met a man named Brandon. Fell so happily and healthily in love. And she's getting married next Friday. I guess he is her only exception. Thanks for making her a believer, Brandon. We love you guys!

How i wish to be with him, we're currently in ldr situation, and i can't wait to tell him how much he uplift me from all of these messed up feelings, he is my serenity and even if i don't understand most of the things by now, in doesn't matter as long as he keeps my sanity in place.

      I can imagine that, because it's true. This song has her feelings and emotions in it. The motivation that made her song so good was true, the counterpart was false.
      And that's why love is for you, not for others. It only matters to you, not your partner. The song has true fellings, it just can't be true because of the true nature of what it represents.
      And for us it's only a good song, that tell us one sweet lie, that is true for a second.

      @anthonymendez1997 Před 3 lety +197

      Yes and no....the song brings back the memories and not the person, but the memories are just as important as the person. Every single person that comes into your life will influence you in one way or another, some people more than others. Those who we have romantic attachment towards carry special significance even long after they leave us. I can speak for myself in saying that I dedicate this song to someone special in my past, because she taught me that there is someone out there for me. Even though it ultimately wasn’t her in the end and she’s long gone (I doubt she even remembers me), I haven’t forgotten that lesson she taught me, even now that over a decade has passed and I thank her for that. This song reminds me of my time with her, but more importantly the lesson I learned from her. Even though she wasn’t my only exception, I’ve learned from her that there is an only exception out there for me. I think of what we went through and even though we may have needed to go our separate ways, there’s no reason to believe that what I went through with her can’t happen again. Just think of the last few words: “and I’m on my way to believing”. I believe someday somewhere that I will find that only exception. You can wallow in every failed relationship or you could turn the light on them and use them as the path in rungs of the ladder in finding your true soulmate and that’s why the memories are so important. This song always carries a special place in my heart because of that.

    I dedicate this song to my husband.
    On 7/02/23 he took his own life.
    He was and will always be my only exception.
    He taught me how to love and be loved, and for twelve years I was the happiest woman in the world.
    Unfortunately our time ends, but I eagerly await eternity to see him again and tell how much he was missed here.
    I love you forever, my love ❤

    Heres the Lyrics, incase you wanted to sing along like I do
    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 darlin'
    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
    But 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
    But, 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 your leaving in the morning, when you wake up
    Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, oh
    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.

We were talking over skype and I remember just feeling so crazy about her while we listened to this together and wishing she felt the same way again. Seven years later, I have yet to love anybody the way I loved her. I also remember I always wanted to dance with her to this song but never got the chance. Such a beautiful song. It always reminds me of how I felt about her.

    To my only exception, I hope this reaches you. I’ve dedicated this song to you unknowingly; it felt right, like an anthem that automatically plays in my head when you walk or talk or do something, anything. You inspire me to do many things, your kind words and adorable actions make me hope in true love, or to just believe in love. I’ve always been avoidant with other people. But with you, I feel different. I feel like dreaming, hoping.
    Yes, I said I hope you read this but I also hope you won’t. I can only say this here as to not destroy our friendship. Because I don’t deserve you, you deserve the world, stay focused, a-.

    I never listened to Paramore until I met the first girl whom conquered my love. We were on our way back from Six Flags, 5 months into our relationship, she played this song before falling asleep on my lap on the car ride home. I listened to this song all the way to her house and my love for her bloomed ever more. We nearly lasted 2 years, rocky towards the end, even so, even now, she is the only exception for me.

    This was mine and my ex girlfriends song. We both didn't really look for love, because from what we had seen in the past it didn't seem like it was a good option. Then we both met each other.
    I had the most wonderful 4 years of my life.
    And then it broke down, "maybe i know somewhere deep in my soul, love never lasts"
    We always knew.
    Love does last, relationships with the wrong people don't. She was my exception. I have stayed single since, shes been with people, And I want her to be happy more than anything.
    I guess really what I'm saying is, love even when you aren't loved. spread positivity. It'll come back to you. I might have a hard time dealing with this, but I'm blessed with much more in life. Life is a roller coaster, you might as well throw your hands in the air and scream, cry and laugh. Got to enjoy the ride, the line is too long to have another go.
    EDIT:
    Wow, I came back and realised I had many messages youtube just hadn't shown me. I'm so glad you all resonate with what I say. I think its even more important in a frightning world we currently live in. I'm getting better all the time, and growing. I sometimes hear this song and think of that time again, and I have a smile on my face. It was great time in my life and I'll never forget it.

    It's 2024.i have never heard this song before. But this so perfectly encapsulates what it was like dating my now-husband. I did not want to fall in love and I didn't want to be with anybody. Except, somehow, with him. He was my only exception

    This song resonates with my soul, because for me an Angel by the name of Serena is the only exception.
    Update: It didn’t work out but I didn’t give up on looking afterwards and things got better.
