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 had sworn to my self that I'm content with loneliness

because none of it was ever worth the risk, but…

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, 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, you are the only exception

You are the only exception, and I'm on my way to believing

Yes, I’m on my way to believing.
