1. 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-assemble it
And my mama 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
R: You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
2. 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 had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
R: 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, whoa
R: You are the only exception...(2x)
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
