The Only Exception lyrics - 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.

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 have 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.

Oh-oh-oh-ohhh.

You are the only exception. [4x]

You are the only exception. [4x]

And I'm on my way to believing.

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

Feeling Sorry lyrics - Paramore

We still live the same town, well don't we?

But I don't see you around anymore.

I go to all the same places

Not even a trace of you.

Your days are numbered at 24.

And I'm getting bored waiting 'round for you.

We're not getting any younger.

And I won't look back 'cause there's no use.

Its time to move forward.

I feel no sympathy.

You live inside a cave

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time for feeling sorry.

Well I try not to think of what might happen.

When your reality it finally cuts through.

Well as for me I got out and I'm on the road.

The worst part is that this, this could be you.

You know it too.

You can't run from your shame.

You're not getting any younger.

Time keeps passing by

But you wave it away.

Its time to roll over.

I feel no sympathy.

You live inside a cave.

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying.

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time for feeling sorry.

And all the best lies

they are told with fingers tied.

So cross 'em tight.

Won't you promise me tonight.

If its the last thing you do

you'll get out.

I feel no sympathy.

You live inside a cave.

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying.

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time for feeling sorry.

I feel no sympathy.

You live inside a cave.

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying.

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time.

I've got no time for feeling sorry.

Looking Up lyrics - Paramore

Things are looking up

Oh, finally

I thought I'd never see the day

When you'd smile at me

We always pull through

Oh, when we try

I'm always wrong

But you're never right

Oh, you're never right

Honestly, can you believe

We crossed the world while it's asleep?

I'd never trade it in

'Cause I've always wanted this and

It's not a dream anymore, no

It's not a dream anymore

It's worth fighting for

Could have given up so easily

I was a few cheap shots away

From the end of me

Taken for granted

Almost everything

That I would have died for

Just yesterday

Just yesterday

Honestly, can you believe

We crossed the world while it's asleep?

I'd never trade it in

'Cause I've always wanted this and

It's not a dream anymore, no

It's not a dream anymore

It's worth fighting for

God knows the world doesn't need another band

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

But what a waste it would've been

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

I can't believe we almost hung it up

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

We're just getting started

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Honestly, can you believe

We crossed the world while it's asleep?

I'd never trade it in

'Cause I've always wanted this and

It's not a dream anymore, no

It's not a dream anymore, no, oh

It's not a dream anymore, no, oh

It's not a dream anymore

It's worth fighting for

I can't believe we almost hung it up

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

We're just getting started

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

I can't believe we almost hung it up

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

We're just getting started

Yeah, we're just getting started

Where The Lines Overlap lyrics - Paramore

Give me attention

I need it now

Too much distance

To measure it out

Out loud

Tracing patterns across a personal map

And making pictures where the lines overlap

Where the lines overlap

No one is as lucky as us

We're not at the end but oh we already won

No one is as lucky as us

Is as lucky as us

Call me over

Tell me how you got so far

Never making a single sound

I'm not used to it but I can learn

Nothing to it

I've never been happier

I've never been happier

No one is as lucky as us

We're not at the end but oh we already won

No one is as lucky as us

Is as lucky as us

Now I've got a feeling 

If I sang this loud enough 

You would sing it back to me

I've got a feeling 

If I sang this loud enough 

You would sing it back to me

I've got a feeling 

I've got a feeling

You would sing it back to me

You would sing it back to me

No one is as lucky as us

We're not at the end but oh we already won

No one is as lucky as us

Is as lucky as us

Is as lucky as us

Misguided Ghosts lyrics - Paramore

I'm going away for a while

But I'll be back

Don't try to follow me

'Cause I'll return as soon as possible

See, I'm trying to find my place

But it might not be here where I feel safe

We all learn to make mistakes

And run from them, from them

With no direction

We'll run from them, from them

With no conviction

'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts

Travelin' endlessly

Don't need no roads

In fact, they follow me

And we just go in circles

And now I'm told that this is life

That pain is just a simple compromise

So we can get what we want out of it

Would someone care to classify?

Our broken hearts and twisted minds

So I can find someone to rely on

And run to them, to them

Full speed ahead

Oh, you are not useless

We are just

Misguided ghosts

Travelin' endlessly

The ones we trusted the most

Pushed us far away

And there's no one road

We should not be the same

But I'm just a ghost

And still they echo me

They echo me in circles

All I Wanted lyrics - Paramore

Think of me when you're out

When you're out there

I'll beg you nice from my knees

And when the world treats you way too fairly

Well it's a shame I'm a dream

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

I think I'll pace my apartment a few times

And fall asleep on the couch

Wake up early, the black and white re-runs

That escape from my mouth, oh

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

I could follow you to the beginning

Just to relive the start

Maybe then we'd remember to slow down

At all of our favorite parts

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

Decode lyrics - Paramore

How can I decide what's right? 

When you're clouding up my mind 

I can't win your losing fight all the time 

How can I ever own what's mine 

When you're always taking sides 

But you won't take away my pride 

No not this time 

Not this time 

How did we get here? 

Well I used to know you so well

How did we get here? 

Well I think I know 

The truth is hiding in your eyes 

And its hanging on your tongue 

Just boiling in my blood

But you think that I can't see 

What kind of man that you are 

If you're a man at all 

Well I will figure this one out 

On my own 

(I'm screaming "I love you so")

On my own 

(My thoughts you can't decode)

How did we get here? 

Well I used to know you so well, yeah

How did we get here? 

Well I think I know 

Do you see what we've done? 

We've gone and made such fools of ourselves 

Do you see what we've done? 

We've gone and made such fools of ourselves 

Yeah...!

How did we get here? 

Well I used to know you so well, yeah yeah

How did we get here? 

Well I used to know you so well 

I think I know 

I think I know 

Ooh, there is something 

I see in you 

It might kill me 

I want it to be true

For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic lyrics - Paramore

Just talk yourself up

And tear yourself down

You've hit your one wall

Now find a way around

Well what's the problem?

You've got a lot of nerve

So what did you think I would say?

No you can't run away, no you can't run away

So what did you think I would say?

No you can't run away, no you can't run away

You wouldn't

I never wanted to say this

You never wanted to stay

I put my faith in you, so much faith

And then you just threw it away

You threw it away

I'm not so naive

My sorry eyes can see

The way you fight shy

Of almost everything

Well, if you give up

You'll get what you deserve

So what did you think I would say?

No you can't run away, no you can't run away

So what did you think I would say?

No you can't run away, no you can't run away

You wouldn't

I never wanted to say this

You never wanted to stay

I put my faith in you, so much faith

And then you just threw it away

You threw it away

You were finished long before

We had even seen the start

Why don't you stand up, be a man about it

Fight with your bare hands about it now

I never wanted to say this

You never wanted to stay, well did you

I put my faith in you, so much faith

And then you just threw it away

I never wanted to say this

You never wanted to stay

And I put my faith in you, so much faith

And then you just threw it away

That's What You Get lyrics - Paramore

No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore.

It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score.

And why do we like to hurt so much?

I can't decide

You have made it harder just to go on

And why, all the possibilities, well I was wrong

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.

And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here.

'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.

I still try, holding onto silly things, I never learn

Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard.

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)

And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Pain make your way to me, to me.

And I'll always be just so inviting.

If I ever start to think straight,

This heart will start a riot in me,

Let's start, start, hey!

Why do we like to hurt so much?

Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa!

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Now I can't trust myself with anything but this,

And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Hallelujah lyrics - Paramore

Somehow everything's gonna fall right into place 

If we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday 

If only time flew like a dove 

Well God, make it fly faster than I'm falling in love 

This time we're not giving up 

Let's make it last forever 

Screaming "hallelujah" 

We'll make it last forever 

Holding onto patience wearing thin

I can't force these eyes to see the end 

If only time flew like a dove 

We could watch it fly and just keep looking up

This time we're not giving up 

Let's make it last forever 

Screaming "hallelujah" 

We'll make it last forever 

And we've got time on our hands

(We've got time) Got nothing but time on our hands

Got nothing but, got nothing but

(We've got time) Got nothing but time on our hands 

This time we're not giving up 

Oh, let's make it last forever 

Screaming "hallelujah" (hallelujah)

Hallelujah

Misery Business lyrics - Paramore

(be caught in that snare)

I'm in the business of misery,

Let's take it from the top.

She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock.

It's a matter of time before we all run out,

When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.

I waited eight long months,

She finally set him free.

I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me.

Two weeks we caught on fire,

She's got it out for me,

But I wear the biggest smile.

Whoa, I never meant to brag.

But I got him where I want him now.

Whoa, it was never my intention to brag

To steal it all away from you now.

But God does it feel so good,

'Cause I got him where I want him now.

And if you could then you know you would.

'Cause God it just feels so...

It just feels so good.

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change.

Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change.

And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have a share.

I'm sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way.

Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you.

Looking as innocent as possible to get to who,

They want and what they like, it's easy if you do it right.

Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

Whoa, I never meant to brag

But I got him where I want him now.

Whoa, it was never my intention to brag

To steal it all away from you now.

But God does it feel so good,

'Cause I got him where I want him right now.

And if you could then you know you would.

'Cause God it just feels so...

It just feels so good.

I watched his wildest dreams come true

Not one of them involving you

Just watch my wildest dreams come true

Not one of them involving...

Whoa, I never meant to brag

But I got him where I want him now.

Whoa, I never meant to brag

But I got him where I want him now.

Whoa, it was never my intention to brag

To steal it all away from you now.

But God does it feel so good,

'Cause I got him where I want him now.

And if you could then you know you would.

'Cause God it just feels so...

It just feels so good.

When It Rains lyrics - Paramore

And when it rains,

On this side of town it touches, everything.

Just say it again and mean it.

We don't miss a thing.

You made yourself a bed

At the bottom of the blackest hole (blackest hole)

And convinced yourself that

It's not the reason you don't see the sun anymore

And no, oh, how could you do it?

Oh I, I never saw it coming.

No, oh, I need the ending.

So why can't you stay

Just long enough to explain?

And when it rains,

Will you always find an escape?

Just running away,

From all of the ones who love you,

From everything.

You made yourself a bed

At the bottom of the blackest hole (blackest hole)

And you'll sleep 'til May

And you'll say that you don't want to see the sun anymore

And no, oh, how could you do it?

Oh I, I never saw it coming.

And no, oh, I need the ending.

So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?

Take your time.

Take my time.

Take these chances to turn it around. (take your time)

Take these chances, we'll make it somehow

And take these chances to turn it around. (take my...)

Just turn it around.

No, how could you do it?

Oh I, I never saw it coming.

No, oh, how could you do it?

Oh I, I never saw it coming.

No, oh, how could you do it?

Oh I, I never saw it coming.

No, oh I need an ending.

So why can't you stay

Just long enough to explain?

You can take your time, take my time.

Let The Flames Begin lyrics - Paramore

What a shame we all became such fragile, broken things.

A memory remains just a tiny spark.

I give it all my oxygen,

To let the flames begin

To let the flames begin.

Oh, glory.

Oh, glory.

This is how we'll dance when,

When they try to take us down.

This is what will be oh glory.

Somewhere weakness is our strength,

And I'll die searching for it.

I can't let myself regret such selfishness.

My pain and all the trouble caused,

No matter how long

I believe that there's hope

Buried beneath it all and

Hiding beneath it all, and

Growing beneath it all, and...

This is how we'll dance when,

When they try to take us down

This is how we'll sing it.

This is how we'll stand when

When they burn our houses down.

This is what will be oh glory.

Reaching as I sink down into light.

Reaching as I sink down into light.

This is how we dance when,

When they try to take us down

This is how we'll sing it.

This is how we'll stand when,

When they burn our houses down.

This is what will be oh glory.

Miracle lyrics - Paramore

I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive

So I'm going to start over tonight

Beginning with you and I

When this memory fades

I'm gonna make sure it's replaced

With chances taken

Hope embraced

and have I told you?

I'm not going 

cause I've been waiting for a miracle

And I'm not leaving

I won't let you

Let you give up on a miracle

When it might save you

We've learned to run from

Anything uncomfortable

We've tied our pain below and no one ever has to know

That inside we're broken

I try to patch things up again 

To calm my tears and kill these fears

But have I told you, have I?

I'm not going 

Cause I've been waiting for a miracle

And I'm not leaving

I won't let you

Let you give up on a miracle

When it might save you

It's not faith if, if you use your eyes

Oh why

We'll get it right this time (this time)

Let's leave this all behind

Oh why

We'll get it right this time

It's not faith if you're using your eyes

Oh why

I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive

So I'm going to start over tonight

Beginning with you and

I don't want to run from anything uncomfortable

I just want, no

I just need this pain to end right here

I'm not going 

Cause I've been waiting for a miracle

And I'm not leaving

I won't let you

Let you give up on a miracle

Cause it might save you

Yeah, it might save you

Oh, it might save you

It's not faith if, if you use your eyes

If you use your eyes

If you use your eyes

crushcrushcrush lyrics - Paramore

I got a lot to say to you

Yeah, I got a lot to say

I noticed your eyes are always glued to me

Keeping them here

And it makes no sense at all

They taped over your mouth

Scribbled out the truth with their lies

You little spies

They taped over your mouth

Scribbled out the truth with their lies

You little spies

Crush

Crush

Crush

Crush, crush

(Two, three, four!)

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone

Just the one-two of us, who's counting on

That never happens

I guess I'm dreaming again

Let's be more than this

If you want to play it like a game

Well, come on, come on, let's play

Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending

Than have to forget you for one whole minute

They taped over your mouth

Scribbled out the truth with their lies

You little spies

They taped over your mouth

Scribbled out the truth with their lies

You little spies

Crush

Crush

Crush

Crush, crush

(Two, three, four!)

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone

Just the one-two of us, who's counting on

That never happens

I guess I'm dreaming again

Let's be more than this now

Rock and roll, baby

Don't you know that we're all alone now?

I need something to sing about

Rock and roll, hey

Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?

I need something to sing about

Rock and roll, hey

Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?

Give me something to sing about

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone

Just the one-two of us, who's counting on

That never happens

I guess I'm dreaming again

Let's be more than

No, oh

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone

Just the one-two of us, who's counting on

That never happens

I guess I'm dreaming again

Let's be more than

More than this

Ohoh ohoh ohoh

Oooh...

We Are Broken lyrics - Paramore

I am outside

And I've been waiting for the sun

With my wide eyes

I've seen worlds that don't belong

My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize

Tell me why we live like this

Keep me safe inside

Your arms like towers

Tower over me

Yeah

'Cause we are broken

What must we do to restore

Our innocence

And oh, the promise we adored

Give us life again

'Cause we just wanna be whole

Lock the doors

Cause I'd like to capture this voice

That came to me tonight

So everyone will have a choice

And under red lights

I'll show myself it wasn't forged

We're at war

We live like this

Keep me safe inside

Your arms like towers

Tower over me

'Cause we are broken

What must we do to restore

Our innocence

And oh, the promise we adored

Give us life again

'Cause we just wanna be whole

Tower over me

Tower over me

And I'll take the truth at any cost

'Cause we are broken

What must we do to restore

Our innocence

And oh, the promise we adored

Give us life again

'Cause we just wanna be whole

Fences lyrics - Paramore

I'm sitting in a room,

Made up of only big white walls and in the hall

There are people looking through

The window in the door

they know exactly what we're here for.

Don't look up

Just let them think

There's no place else

You'd rather be.

You're always on display

For everyone to watch and learn from,

Don't you know by now,

You can't turn back

Because this road is all you'll ever have.

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.

Just living proof that the camera's lying.

And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night.

So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style.

You'll go out in style.

If you let me I could,

I'd show you how to build your fences,

Set restrictions, separate from the world.

The constant battle that you hate to fight,

Just blame the limelight.

Don't look up

Just let them think

There's no place else

You'd rather be.

And now you can't turn back

Because this road is all you'll ever have.

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.

Just living proof that the camera's lying.

And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night.

So smile.

Yeah, yeah you're asking for it

With every breath that you breathe in

Just breathe it in.

Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess

You do all this big talking

So now let's see you walk it.

I said let's see you walk it.

Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess

You do all this big talking

So now let's see you walk it.

I said let's see you walk it.

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.

Just living proof that the camera's lying.

And oh oh open wide, yeah oh oh open wide.

Yeah, oh oh open wide,

'Cause you'll go out in style.

You'll go out in style.
