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 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 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
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 of some kind of proof it`s not a dream
Ohh...
You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing Oh, And I'm on my way to believing
