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..
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;
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.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
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.

You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.

And I'm on my way to believing.
