1. 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 mama 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 darling R: You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception 2. 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 Because none of it was ever worth the risk R: 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, whoa R: You are the only exception...(2x) And I'm on my way to believing Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
