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 read the symphonic
And my mama swore that she would never let herself again
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, or you are the only exception
Well 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
Well 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
And I'm on my way to believing
