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


But darling,
You, are, the only exception

You, are, the only exception




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

Keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this

Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
