The Only Exception Lyrics

The Only Exception Lyrics

verse 1:

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 promised 

I'd never sing of love 

if it does not exist

CHORUS:

But Darlin...

you are the only exception

you are the only exception

you are the only exception

you are the only exception

verse 2:

maybe i know somewhere 

deep in my soul 

that love never lasts

and we've got to find other ways 

to make it alone

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

CHORUS:

well you are the only exception

you are the only exception

you are the only exception

you are the only exception

Bridge:

i've got a tight grip on reality

but i can't 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

oh oh oh 

CHORUS:

you are the only exception

you are the only exception

you are the only exception

you are the only exception

repeat chorus 1x

and I'm on my way to believing

oh and I'm on my way to believing
