The Only Exception

LETRA

The Only 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
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’m content 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

Ohh—
