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 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,
'Cause 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 whats part of me here.
I know you're leaving tomorrow, when you wake up,
Leave me of 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
And I'm on my way to believing..
