Lyrics

0:21When I was younger
0:23I saw my daddy cry
0:28And curse at the wind
0:32He broke his own heart and I watched
0:35As he tried to reassemble it
0:42And my momma swore
0:45That she would never let herself forget
0:53And that was the day that I promised
0:57I'd never sing of love
0:59If it does not exist
1:02But darling
1:04You are the only exception
1:09You are the only exception
1:14You are the only exception
1:19You are the only exception
1:30Maybe I know
1:32Somewhere deep in my soul
1:36That love never lasts
1:41And we've got to find other ways
1:44To make it alone
1:47Or keep a straight face
1:51And I've always lived like this
1:55Keeping a comfortable distance
2:02And up until now
2:04I have sworn to myself
2:06That I'm content with loneliness
2:12But darling
2:13You are the only exception
2:18You are the only exception
2:23You are the only exception
2:28You are the only exception
2:38I've got a tight grip on reality
2:41But I can't let go of what's
2:45In front of me here
2:48I know you're leaving in the morning
2:51When you wake up
2:53To leave you with some kind of proof
2:56It's not a dream
3:05You are the only exception
3:10You are the only exception
3:16And I'm on my way to believing
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 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 have sworn to myself
That I'm content with loneliness
But darling
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
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
To leave you with some kind of proof
It's not a dream
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
