The exception- 

It wasn't just the rejection
The disappointment you made me feel
The new hole in my heart you ripped
When I thought it had finally healed

The thought of it was ridiculous 
You were the exception 
The one who could do no wrong
Never a thought of deception 

But here we are
A place I thought we'd never be
You took me by surprise
With something I failed to see 

I guess i had forgotten 
that you're your fathers son 
It must run in the family
Compassion? You have none 

Why invite me anyway?
If you were just going to tear me down?
Why build up my hopes and dreams
Only to let me drown

I pretended like it was fine
But You should've left me alone
I was fine the way I was
When I was on my own

But instead you invited yourself in
And I didn't really mind 
Thinking you'd help me out
Thinking you'd be kind

But instead you built me up 
Just to tear me down from my high
Crashing down and breaking
Just when I thought I could fly 

I suppose it does run in the family
But than am I an exception? 
Am I immune to this?
This talent of deception?

Or am I secretly horrible
Just waiting for my chance
To trick some poor soul
Keeping them in a trance

Until I've squashed their heart 
With no hope of repair
Leaving them bruised and broken
Drowning in their dispare

I'd like to think I'm different
That I'm not someone who's bad
That I might be the exception 
From making every one sad

Maybe it's just on the men's side?
Maybe I'm immune?
Or maybe it's laying dormant
Until a full moon?

Whatever the case may be
I hope I don't become
A person like you and him
Because you're absolute scum

I hope I'm the exception 
Please please let me be
I don't want to hurt anyone
I want to be free 
Ok so this one is about my older brother(and dad), he's getting married in 2 weeks and invited me to come out and even offeren to pay for a plane ticket but obviously that didnt really work out, i was really excited to see him and some of my other family cause it's been a really long time since i've seen them but its probably for the best i guess i probably dodged a bullet not going even if right now it stings pretty bad
