When I was younger I saw my daddy cry |
| 02 |
And curse at the wind. |
| 03 |
He broke his own heart and I watched |
| 04 |
As he tried to reassemble it. |
| 05 |
|
| 06 |
And my momma swore |
| 07 |
That she would never let herself forget. |
| 08 |
And that was the day that I promised |
| 09 |
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
But darling, |
| 12 |
You are the only exception. |
| 13 |
You are the only exception. |
| 14 |
You are the only exception. |
| 15 |
You are the only exception. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul |
| 18 |
That love never lasts. |
| 19 |
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone. |
| 20 |
Or keep a straight face. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
And I've always lived like this |
| 23 |
Keeping a comfortable distance. |
| 24 |
And up until now I have sworn to myself |
| 25 |
That I'm content with loneliness. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Because none of it was ever worth the risk. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Well you are the only exception. |
| 30 |
You are the only exception. |
| 31 |
You are the only exception. |
| 32 |
You are the only exception. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I've got a tight grip on reality, |
| 35 |
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here. |
| 36 |
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up. |
| 37 |
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream. |
| 38 |
Oh-oh-oh-ohhh. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
You are the only exception. [4x] |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
You are the only exception. [4x] |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
And I'm on my way to believing. |
| 45 |
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing. |
