The Only Exception

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

Well, darling, you are the only exception Well, you are the only exception

Well, you are the only exception Well, you are the only exception

Well, maybe 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 face And I've always lived like this

You're 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

But you are the only exception

You are the only exception

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-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

exception, for you are the only exception, you are the only exception, you are the only

And I'm on my way to believing Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
