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 re-assemble it And my momma 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 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 last 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 Well, You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception Whoa, oh, hey Whoa 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 You are the only exception And I'm on my way to believing Oh, And I'm on my way to believing
