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 I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist

But darling,
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 [bad word]  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

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 of some kind of proof it`s not a dream

Ohh...

You are the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing
