Pride is for the priviliged   Pride is for a few   Who can't afford a conscience clean and morals too   You can't undo what can't be undone   I can't rewind and so I run      Exception, yeah   You are my exception   Exception, yeaaah   Exception      You came to me with confidence   I saw the devil smile   He said "hey here's your second chance"   Redemption for a life   A heart-shaped magic lucky charm   My gift to you will keep me warm      Exception, yeah   You are my exception   Exception, yeaaah      If I can be your angel   Flying through a desert storm   A soothing calm oasis   You will always be my one   Exception   Exception      [instrumental break]      I had an inner vision   Attacking from behind   A backstabbing illusion   No smoke without a fire   You told the truth I lived a lie   There's nothing I won't sacrifice      Exception, yeah   You are my exception   Exception, yeaaah      If I can be your angel   Flying through a desert storm   A soothing calm oasis   You will always be my one   Exception   You are my exception      Exception, yeah   You are my exception   Exception, yeaaah   Exception
