Intro : (x2)
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-assembl e it
And my mama swore that she would never let herself f orget
And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love
if it does not e xist, 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 l asts
And we've got to find other ways to make it a lone or keep a straigh t face
And I've always lived like this, keeping a c omfortabl e distance
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm co ntent with lone liness
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 except ...

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, wh oa
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 believin g
Oh, and I'm on my way to believin g.
