| 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 re-assemble it.
|
| And my mamma swore she would
|
| That never let herself forget.
|
| And that was the day that I promised
|
| I’d never sing of love if 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
|
| 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 swored to myself
|
| That I’m content with loneliness
|
| Cause none of it was ever worth the risk.
|
| You are the only exception
|
| You are the only exception
|
| You are the only exception
|
| You are the only exception
|
| I’ve got a tight grip on reality
|
| but I can’t let go of whats part of me here.
|
| I know you’re leaving tomorrow when you wake up
|
| Leave me with some kind of proof it’s not a dream
|
| Woah.
|
| You are the only exception
|
| You are the only exception
|
| You are the only exception
|
| You are the only exception
|
| You are the only exception
|
| You are the only exception
|
| You are the only exception
|
| You are the only exception
|
| And I’m on my way to believing
|
| And I’m on my way to believing |
