The Only Exception lyrics

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 reassamble it And my momma swore she would never let herself forget And that was the day that I swore I'd never sing of love if it does not exist But darling, 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 our own way to make it alone or 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 'Cause none of it was ever worth the risk But you are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception
