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,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'mContent 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

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
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 believing.Oh, And I'm on my way 
to believing
