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
