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

Well you are the only exception


Well you are the only exception


Well you are the only exception


Well you are the only exception

I"ve got a tight grip on reality,


But I can"t let go of what"s 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

Whooa...

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...
