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

- Paramore, The Only Exception 

I know the above song lyric doesn't match the picture, 

but I really like both of them a lot. 

That lyric speaks more to me than the rest of the song 

since I have not found that "only exception" that hayley sings about. 

And the picture just makes sense to me, 

this man gave up everything he had for this one person, 

and he got shot down. He lost everything. 

Which is unfortunate. 

Do you ever feel that way, like you give everything up for one thing 

and then it falls through? 

I've put myself in this man's place many times. 

I've put myself out there, for everyone to see 

and just get disappointed. 

And the thing about life is that you have to keep doing this

over and over and over again. 

That's just the way it is. 

Sometimes I just wish things were different, you didn't have to be 

vulnerable 

and susceptible to others say and just live your own life. 

But that's impossible. 

If you've found a way to do that, then you should let me know. 

I'm always open to suggestions.
