Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was younger, I saw
My daddy cry and curse at the wind
He broke his own heart as I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
[Verse 2]
And my mama swore 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
[Verse 3]
But darling
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
[Verse 4]
Maybe I know somewhere
Deep in my soul that love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone, I'll keep a straight face
[Verse 5]
And I've always lived like this
Keepin' a comfortable distance
And up until now, I'd have sworn to myself
That I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
[Verse 6]
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Hey, hey
Oh-oh, oh
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Whoa-oh, oh, oh
[Verse 10]
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
You are the only exception
[Verse 11]
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, oh, oh-oh oh
And I'm on my way to believing
