Verse 1:

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


CHORUS:

But Darlin...

You Are The Only Exception
You Are The Only Exception
You Are The Only Exception

You Are The Only Exception

Verse 2:


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 I Had Sworn To Myself That I'm Content With Loneliness

Because None Of It Was Ever Worth The Risk

CHORUS:


Well You Are The Only Exception
You Are The Only Exception

You Are The Only Exception
You Are The Only Exception


Bridge:

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 With Some Kind Of Proof It's Not A Dream


Oh Oh Oh

CHORUS:


You Are The Only Exception
You Are The Only Exception

You Are The Only Exception
You Are The Only Exception


Repeat Chorus 1x

And I'm On My Way To Believing

Oh And I'm On My Way To Believing
