The Only Exception

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I was as he trying to reassemble it
My mama swore she would never let herself forget
That was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
It does not exist
But darling you are the only exception
You are the only the exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts
We've got to find other ways to make it alone
But keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance up in here
Now I as one to myself as content with loneliness
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 what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
Maybe that's the kind of love is not a dream
