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 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

Well you are the only exception

Well you are the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality,

But i can't let go of what's 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

Whooa...

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...
