The Only Exception -

When I was younger

I saw my daddy cry

And curse at the wind

He broke his own heart

As I watched

As he tried to re-assemble it And my momma swore

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 last

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

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

Wohhh, Ohhhh, Heyyy

Wohhhhh

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 it’s not a dream

Ohhhhh

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
