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
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
Up until now I had sworn to myself
That I'm content with loneliness
'Cause 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 and I
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 if 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 I'm on my way to believing
Oh and I'm on my way to believing
