About this song: The Only Exception

The third single from Paramore's third album, Brand New Eyes.
This soulful acoustic number is a heartfelt song about love. (Source The Only Exception Songfacts) Frontwoman and lyricist Hayley Williams told Kerrang! May 9, 2009, that it's &quot;the first time I've been able to write a song about that.&quot; She added: &quot;Josh (Farro - guitar) brought me the music and I thought it was so beautiful. I don't know where my head was at when I heard it, but it really hit me.
