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 itAnd 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 existBut darling,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exceptionMaybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Keep a straight faceAnd I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I'd have sworn to myself that I'm
Content with lonelinessBecause none of it was ever worth the riskWell, you, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exceptionI'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 dreamOhYou, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exceptionYou, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exceptionAnd I'm on my way to believing
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
