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 and you
Are the only exception
You are the only
Exception and you
Are the only exception

Maybe I know somewhere
Deep in my soul that love
Never lasts
We've got to find other
Ways to make it along
I'll 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

But darling you are the
Only exception and you
Are the only exception
You are the only
Exception and 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 wakeup
To leave me with some kind
Of proof it's not a dream
Woah woah

You are the only exception
You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
