[INTRO | Whispered, Cool] Check the time. Check the facts. I don't lose. I don't look back. But you? You're a different kind of math. [VERSE 1 | Rhythmic, Confident] Five-thirty, sunrise, coffee on ice Red lips, black dress, everything precise Top of the class, got the whole room still I don't chase luck, baby, I make my will Got ten-year plans in a leather-bound book Everybody wants a second look I can read a room, I can call your bluff But reading your eyes is getting kinda tough You're not impressed by the name on my door You make me laugh till I can't anymore I had a system, a perfect design Then you walked in and corrupted the lines [PRE-CHORUS | Building] I like my world in black and white Every wrong and every right But you keep painting outside the frame And I kinda, kinda like the change Don't call it fate, don't call it luck I'm just a girl who's caught up If love's a game I can't control Then tell me why I want it so [CHORUS | Explosive, Addictive] You're my favorite exception My beautiful miscalculation I can rule the world, run the show But you make my heart go overload No, I don't need saving Just somebody worth the waiting See the girl beneath the gold Hold me close when I lose control My favorite, favorite My favorite exception No algorithm, no protection You got me making one confession I don't want perfect I want YOU My favorite exception My favorite you [POST-CHORUS | Chant] Error, error, heart on fire One look and you take me higher Tick-tock, tick-tock, lose my cool Who gave you permission to be this cute? Error, error, can't deny You're the one I can't outsmart tonight Na-na-na, no correction You're my favorite exception [VERSE 2 | Playful Rap] Listen, I'm not the jealous type I'm the "who's that?" with a smile just right Pen snaps clean when you make me sweat Don't push your luck, I haven't lost yet I remember how you take your tea The song you hum when you're half-asleep Your favorite cake, your worst bad day The things you never think to say I'll bring you chocolate, I'll bring you roses I'll learn the words when your silence closes But if I cut too deep with something I said I'll own my mistake, no games instead I can be stubborn, a little too sharp A guarded queen with a complicated heart But I won't make you earn your place You get the truth, not a perfect face [PRE-CHORUS 2 | More Emotional] I don't need you to worship my name Don't love the image, love me the same When my hands shake, when I fall behind Will you still want the girl you find? I can be strong, I can be scared I want a love that's honest and fair No little cage, no golden chain Choose me freely, I'll do the same [CHORUS | Full Production] You're my favorite exception My beautiful miscalculation I can rule the world, run the show But you make my heart go overload No, I don't need saving Just somebody worth the waiting See the girl beneath the gold Hold me close when I lose control My favorite, favorite My favorite exception No algorithm, no protection You got me making one confession I don't want perfect I want YOU My favorite exception My favorite you [BRIDGE | Stripped Back, Intimate] If I fail, will you stay? If I'm quiet, will you wait? If the whole world knows my name Will you love me just the same? I spent my life becoming Someone they could admire But when you say you love me I don't need to reach higher 사랑은 시험이 아니야 Love isn't a test I have to pass Maybe I can let the moment last Maybe I can just be me And let you see what no one sees [BUILD | Whisper to Power] No more perfect answers No more rehearsed defenses If you want the truth, here it is... I'm scared. I'm trying. I'm yours to know. Not yours to own. [FINAL CHORUS | Explosive, Layered Vocals] You're my favorite exception My sweetest imperfection I don't need a flawless alibi I'll tell you when I'm wrong this time I'll bring the flowers I'll give you space I'll meet your hurt with an honest face No grand disguise, no false affection Just me, your favorite exception My favorite, favorite My favorite exception You broke the code without detection Now you're my sweetest contradiction I don't want perfect I want TRUE No one else could be My favorite you [OUTRO | Playful Whisper] So, for the record... I still think I'm right. Most of the time. Come here. I missed you. ...Don't make me say it twice.
