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 e ist
But darling,
You are the only e ception
You are the only e ception
You are the only e ception
You are the only e ception
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, but
You are the only e ception
You are the only e ception
You are the only e ception
You are the only e ception
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 e ception
You are the only e ception
You are the only e ception
You are the only e ception
You are the only e ception
You are the only e ception
You are the only e ception
You are the only e ception
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing
