When
I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind He
broke his own heart as I watched as he tried to rea**emble it And
my momma 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
darlin' 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 keep, a straight face And
I've always lived like this keeping, a comfortable distance And
up until now I'd have sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness Because
none of it was ever worth the risk You
are the only exception You
are the only exception You
are the only exception 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 wake up Leave
me with some kind of proof it's not a dream 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
