| [Verse 1] 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 mama 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 [Chorus] But, darling, you are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Well, you are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception [Bridge] 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, oh [Chorus] You are the only exception (repeat 8x) [Outro] And I'm on my way to believing Oh, and I'm on my way to believing |
