The Only Exception
When I was youngerI saw my daddy cryAnd curse at the windHe broke his own heartAnd I watchedAs he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore thatShe would never let herself forgetAnd that was the day I promisedI'd never sing of loveIf it does not exist
But darlin,You, are, the only exceptionYou, are, the only exceptionYou, are, the only exceptionYou, are, the only exception
Maybe I know, somewhereDeep in my soulThat love never lastsAnd we've got to find other waysTo make it aloneOr keep a straight face
And I've always lived like thisKeeping a comfortable distanceAnd up until nowI had sworn to myself that I'm contentWith loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk, but
You, are, the only exceptionYou, are, the only exceptionYou, are, the only exceptionYou, are, the only exception
I've got a tight grip on realityBut I can'tLet go of what's in front of me hereI know you're leavingIn the morning, when you wake upLeave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
Oh
You, are, the only exceptionYou, are, the only exceptionYou, are, the only exceptionYou, are, the only exceptionYou, are, the only exceptionYou, are, the only exceptionYou, are, the only exceptionYou, are, the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing.Oh, And I'm on my way to believing.
