{Verse 1}
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'
{Chorus}
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/paramore/the_only_exception.html ]
{Verse 2}
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
{Chorus}
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
{Instrumental and Drums}
{Bridge}
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
Ooh Ooh...
{Chorus}
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
[X2]
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
I think it's about a girl who always thought when she would fall in love, it would end like her parents. So she thinks she just won't love anyone then. So, she finally thinks it over, and finds out "ya know. I really love him. And if he feels the same, why would there be any problem? " so she decides she will do what she wants to do. And that is love the one person she wants to love, and she will not follow her parents.
Simply.. She saw her parents lose love.. And she'd never sing about it if it didn't exist. She's tired of being lonely but only one person is worth taking the risk. But deep down she thinks that love doesn't exist. And she knows that once they're done hanging out.. When she wakes up he'll be gone. Because that's simply how guys are. But now she's on her way to believing that love exists b/c maybe he didn't leave in the morning.
This song is about believing in love. It's about coming from a broken family, and it effecting your belief that love can't be true. It's about being locked away. Never believing you need love. And one day you find it... And it changes you and you're on your way to believing. You're no longer broken.

A girl who is scared and keeps her distance from experiencing love... After she saw her parents break apart.and then comes a boy.. And though she wants to hear her miond and not take the risk.. She is helpless .. As she cant let go of him... She is moving closer each day to experiencing true love.. And let the ghosts of fear pass..

There is hope for love , there is. It feels so dark and lonely, but there is hope.

I think this song means that if you have something that really exists you have to hold a tight grip of it so it can never go away...

The beginning of the song is about doubting love and protecting your heart. Then finding the one person who breaks all of your doubts, and makes you believe in love.

The song is about overcoming the fear of being hurt by love in order to truly feel love. Simple as that.

The meaning of this song would be that someone never used to believe in love until they met this one special person. They are the only exception for love because of who they are, how they treat the person, and their personality. The song is basically saying that i'm deeply in love and so this guy/girl is my only exception for love... :)
