The Only Exception (cover)

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 re-assemble it.
And my mamma swore 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.
But darling…

You are the only exception (4x)

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 swore to myself
That I'm content with loneliness
Cause none of it was ever worth the risk.

You are the only exception (4x)

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's part of me here.
I know you're leaving tomorrow when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

Woah..

You are the only exception (8x)

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