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 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
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
Well you are, the only exception
Well you are, the only exception
Well 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 we've got to find other ways
To make it alone keep a straight face
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
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
Well you are, the only exception
Well you are, the only exception
Well you are, the only exception and I
Well you are, the only exception
Well you are, the only exception
Well 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 it's not a dream, but Oh-Oh-Oh!
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 it's 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
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 it
Oh and I'm on my way to believing it
Oh and I'm on my way to believing it
