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 it
And my mama 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
But you are the only exception
But you are the only exception
But you are the only exception
Well maybe I know somewhere
Deepin my soul
That love never lasts
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
Well you are the only exception
Well you are the only exception
Well you are the only exception
I've gotta 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 of somekind of proof it's not a dream ohh
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
