♬ 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've sworn to myself
that I'm content with loneliness. ♬
♬ Because none of it was ever worth the risk.♬
♬ Well 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. ♬
♬ 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. ♬
♬ You are the only exception. [x4] ♬
♬ You are the only exception. [x4] ♬
♬ And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing. ♬
