When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and cursed 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 darlin, 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 had sworn to myself that I was content with loneliness

Cos none of it was ever worth the risk, but you are the only exception.

You, are, the only exception.

I've got a tight grip on reality, but I cant let go of what's in front of me here.

I know your leaving in the morning, when you wake up

leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.

You are, the only exception.
