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 love herself again and that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love if it does not exist darling you are the only exception darling you are the only exception darling you are the only exception darling you are the only exception maybe I know deep in my soul that love never lasts and we've got to find other ways to make it alone keep a straight face and I've always lived like this keeping it comfortable a distance and up until now I had swore to myself that I'm content with loneliness 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 exception I've got a tight grip of reality but I can't let go of what's in front of me here I know you'll leave me in the morning when you wake up leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream 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 believing oh and I'm on my way to believe it
