Exception

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 (4x)

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'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk

Well, You, are, the only exception (4x)

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

Ohh---

You, are, the only exception (8x)
