The Only Exception

[Verse 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 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

[Chorus]

But darling

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only еxception

[Verse 2]

Oh, maybe I know somewhеre 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

[Chorus]

Well, you are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

[Bridge]

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-oh-oh

[Chorus]

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

Well, you are the only exception

[Outro]

And I'm on my way to believing

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
