Title

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
