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 darlin'
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
But 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 your leaving in the
morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of
proof it's not a dream, oh
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
