The Only Exception

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 it

And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget

And that was the day that I promised I'll never think of love if it does not exist

But darling, you are the only exception You are the only exception

You are the only exception You are the only exception

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, keeping a comfortable

And up until now I have sworn to myself that I contend with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk But you are the only exception

You are the only exception. 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

I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, whoa

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.
