Rachel: 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
Rachel with Mercedes, Quinn and Santana: Maybe I'd 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
Rachel: 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
Ooh oh ooh oh
You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception
Mercedes, Santana, and Quinn: You are the only exception You are the only exception
Rachel with Mercedes, Santana, and Quinn: You are the only exception, You are the only exception, And I’m on my way to believing
