The Only Exception Lyrics

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 reassemble it.
And my momma swore she would
Never let herself so 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.

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 it's not a dream.
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.
