Lyrics:

When I was younger I saw my daddy
cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart as I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my mamma 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 (x4)

Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul
That love never last
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 it 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 (x4)
Whoaaaa ooooh whoaaa oooh
Hey heeeey whooaaa oooh

I’ve got a tight grip on reality
But I can’t let
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
Whoaaa oooooh ooooooh

You are the only exception (x8)
And I’m on my way to believing
ooooooh
And I’m on my way to believing
