When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
Andcurse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried toreassemble 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
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the onlyexception
Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love neverlasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Keep a straightface
And I've always lived like this Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up untilnow
I had sworn to myself that I'm
Contentwith loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Well, You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, theonly exception
You, are, the only exception
I've got a tight grip onreality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you'releaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proofit's not a dream
Ohh---
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the onlyexception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the onlyexception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the onlyexception
And I'm on my way to believing Oh, And I'm on my way tobelieving
