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 rea**emble 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
You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing (mm-hmm)
I'm on my way to believing
