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 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 does not

exist. But darling..

CHORUS

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 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.

CHORUS

But you are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

BRIDGE / F#m / D / E / x2

I’ve got a tight grip on reality,

But i can’t let go of whats 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.

whoa

CHORUS

But you are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

But you are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

Outro

And i’m on my way to believing

And i’m on my way to believing
