The Only Exception - The Only Exception lyrics

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 rea**emble it And my mama swore that she Would never let herself decay That was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love if it does not exist But darling, you are the only exception Well, you are the only exception Well, you are the only exception You are the only exception Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul That love never lasts 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 have sworn to myself That I'm content with loneliness Because none of it was ever worth the risk Well, you are the only exception Well, you are the only exception Well, you are the only exception Well, you are the only exception
