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 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 swore to myself that I'm content with loneliness Because none of it was ever worth the risk and
You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception
Oh
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
Oh
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 And you are the only exception You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing (mm-hmm) I'm on my way to believing
