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 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 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 had sworn to myself that I'm content 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 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

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
