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 re-assemble it And my mamma swore 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 or keep a straight face And I've always lived like this Keeping a comfortable distance And up until now I swored to myself That I'm content with loneliness, Because none of it was ever worth the risk But you are the only exception But you are the only exception But you are the only exception But you are the only exception I've got a tight grip on reality, But I can't let go of what's 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 Whooa... You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception And I'm on my way to believing Oh and I'm on my way to believing...
