[Intro]
Exception
Exception
Why can't I end it in confession?
[Verse 1]
My halloween costume is still on the floor
If I pick it up then I have to move on
It didn't matter that it was my birthday
Everyone leaves but yours takes the whole cake
I put on your sweatshirt, I realized it's ugly
Another thing you loved taking right from me
So I blow out the candles, I'm always the victim
It's not your fault, that's how I've rigged the system
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm still trying to make it make sense
It sounds wrong putting us in the past tense
How can I weaponize all your love?
How do I point the finger when no one's wrong?
[Chorus]
What are the odds you're a lesson
What's patience if I don't get tested?
I've never moved on, maybe ever
I wonder if you're the exception
Exception
I'm learning lessons
I'm second guessing
I'm redirecting these loose ends, confessing
How am I always too much and too little?
I tried so hard to stay right in the middle
Why did we bother with planning to be here?
Both knowing we wouldn't make it to New Year's
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm still trying to make it make sense
It sounds wrong putting us in the past tense
How can I weaponize all your love?
How do I point the finger when no one's wrong?
[Chorus]
What are the odds you're a lesson
What's patience if I don't get tested?
I've never moved on, maybe ever
I wonder if you're the exception
Exception
I'm learning lessons
I'm second guessing
I'm redirecting these loose ends, confessing
I can't be present
I'm moving reckless
You're getting tired, I know I'm a mess
