The Only Exception !

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 
And we've got to find other ways 
To make it alone 
Or 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 
Ohh...

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
