Pride is for the privileged
Pride is for a few
Who can't afford a conscience clean and morals too
You can't undo what can't be undone
I can't rewind and so I run

Exception, yeah
You are my exception
Exception, yeah
Exception

You came to me with confidence
I saw the devil smile
He said "Hey here's your second chance"
Redemption for a life
A heart-shaped magic lucky charm
My gift to you will keep me warm

Exception, yeah
You are my exception
Exception, yeah

If I can be your angel
Flying through a desert storm
A soothing calm oasis
You will always be my one
Exception
Exception

I had an inner vision
Attacking from behind
A backstabbing illusion
No smoke without a fire
You told the truth, I lived a lie
There's nothing I won't sacrifice

Exception, yeah
You are my exception
Exception, yeah

If I can be your angel
Flying through a desert storm
A soothing calm oasis
You will always be my one
Exception
You are my exception

Exception, yeah
You are my exception
Exception, yeah
