YOU ARE 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 .
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 .
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 its not a dream .

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 .

I’m on my way to believing
And I’m on my way to believing .
