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 itAnd 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 darlin'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
But keep a straight faceAnd I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm content
With lonelinessBecause none of it was ever worth the riskBut, 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 your leaving in the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, ohYou 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.
