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 re-assemble it.
And my mamma swore she would
That never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if 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 swored to myself
That I'm content with loneliness
Cause 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 reality
but I can't let go of whats part of me here.
I know you're leaving tomorrow when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
Woah..
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
And I'm on my way to believing
