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

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 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

Well, 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, whoa

You are the only exception

Well, you are the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
