The Only Exception (Live)
When I was younger I saw, my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I tried to watch
As he reassemble it
And my momma 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
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
And keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
But up until now I had sworn to myself
That I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Cause you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
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
Whoah...
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
Oh and I'm on my way to believing it
Oh and I'm on my way to believing it
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I tried to watch
As he reassemble it
And my momma 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
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
And keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
But up until now I had sworn to myself
That I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Cause you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
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
Whoah...
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
Oh and I'm on my way to believing it
Oh and I'm on my way to believing it
