The Only Exception

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

Oh, 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 have 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

And 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-oh-oh-ohhh.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

And I'm on my way to believing.

Oh, and I'm on my way to believin
