When i was younger   I saw my daddy cry   And cursed 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 i promised   Id never sing of love   If it does not exist      But darlin,   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   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, but      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 your leaving    In the morning, when you wake up   Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream      Oh---      You, are, the only exception   You, are, the only exception   You, are, the only exception   You, are, the only exception   You, are, the only exception   You, are, the only exception   You, are, the only exception   You, are, the only exception      And I'm on my way to believing.   Oh, And Im on my way to believing.
