Home (A Billie Joe Armstrong Love Story)

The Only Exception

Chapter 10

Kendall's POV

Days passed and I talked more with Billie and the guys, but we hadn't met again since the show. My phone ringed and I looked at it, it was a text from Billie 'Hello beautiful, how are ya? Wanna have dinner with me tonight? Just so we can y'know spend more time together? If you want, of course... :) x' I smiled and sighed, I'm falling for him. I replied fast. 'Hey Billie! I'm great you? Sure, I'd love to! Pick me up at 7:00 pm ;) love Kends x' I sighed and I looked at the clock, it's just 12:30... Damn I have a lot of time to kill... My phone rang again, another text from Billie 'Awesome! I'll meet ya at 7:00 then!' I read it and did a little celebration dance, I was looking forward for tonight. After my little dance I decided to play guitar, I named it Floyd. It's a beautiful electroacoustic fender, it was one of my favorite ones.. I had a total of like 6 guitars.. Some classicals, some electrics and some electroacoustics... But I loved them all. I started playing Paramore's 'The Only Exception' I strummed a few chords and then decided to record it in a voice note, just so I could listen to it after... After I started recording, I started strumming again after the intro was done, I unexpectedly started singing. "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've 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.

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.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.
