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 myself
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
Woah
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
And I'm on my way
to believing
Oh and I'm on my way
to believing
