The Only Exception Lyrics

When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind
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

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
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 your are the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let got 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

I'm on my way to believing
