The Only Exception

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 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 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 But darlin' You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception {Instrumental and Drums} 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 So leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream Ooh Ooh... You are the only exception You are the only exception And I'm on my way to believing
