| 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 that I swore
|
| I’d 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
|
| But 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 |
