You Are the Exception

Never felt this feeling before
The way I do now
I was always the runaway lover
Shattering a few unfortunate hearts
Along the pathways
Of my twisted, desperate plea for love
In the shadow of a soul too afraid
Too distant and too selfish
To ever completely give themselves away

You changed me
Or you beat me at my own game
I can't tell if I miss those wild blue eyes
And the softness of your lips on mine
Or if I just hate the fact that I lost control
Seeing that this time
It was my heart left in a pile of ashes
On the floor

You and I burned brighter
Than any star in that summer sky
Where I accidentally fell in love with you
Your memory still follows me
And visions of you haunt me in my sleep
With a waking desire to relive
Each and every single moment
Even if I still had to lose you in the end
To relive one more day with you
