And I'm on my way to believing

"The Only Exception" by 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 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
Well, you are the only exception
Well, you are the only exception
Well, you are the only exception

Well, 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

Well, you are the only exception
Well, you are the only exception
Well, you are the only exception
Well, 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, oh oh 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
Well, you are the only exception
You are the only exception
Well, you are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing

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





I broke my own heart. I accept that and I'm putting the pieces back together. It might be taking a long time, a lot longer than I ever would have thought, but that's ok as long as I keep working on it. I've come so far and I know that I will never forget about all that I've been through and all that I've done, to myself and to others. I'm grateful for that. So many things are possible and I guess you could say that I'm on my way to believing in myself again.
