The Only Exception: YOU!

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse
at the wind. 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

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
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

I'm on my way to believing
