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
My momma swore
That she would never let herself forget
That was the day
I promised I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
Darling you are the only exception
You are the only exception
And you are the only exception
And you are the only exception to this
Maybe I know somewhere
Deep in my soul that love never lasts
We gotta find other ways
To make it alone but keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now
I have sworn to myself I'm content with loneliness
'Cause none of it was ever worth the risk
But you are the only exception
And you are the only exception
You are the only exception
And you are the only exception to this
Ooh Ooh
I 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
And you are the only exception
You are the only exception
And you are the only exception
And you are the only exception
And you are the only exception
And you, oh!
Yeah!
I'm on my way
And I'm on my way
And I'm on my way
To believe it
And I'm on my way
To believe it
