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 Id never sing of love
If it does not exist
But Darling, you are the only exception
Well you are the only exception
Well you are the only exception
Well you are the only exception
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And weve got to find other ways to make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And Ive always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now I had sworn to myself that Im 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 and I
Ive got a tight grip on reality but I cant!
Let go of whats in front of me here!
I know youre leaving in the morning when you wake up!
Leave me with some kind of proof its not a dream, but Oh-Oh-Oh!
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 Im on my way to believing
Oh, and Im on my way to believing
