The Only Exception

When I was younger I saw

My daddy cry

And curse at the wind

He broke his own heart is watched

As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore 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

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

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

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

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
