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 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
Or keep a straight faceAnd I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now I had sworn to my self that I'm content with loneliness
Because 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 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
