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 mama 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
You are the only exception
Maybe I know somewhere
Deep in my soul
That I'll never last
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Keep a straight face
And I've always said
Live like this
Keeping it comfortable
Distance
And up until now
I had swore to myself
That I'm content
Loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Well you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the one I've wanted to be
You are the only exception
You are the one I've always been

You're never helping me even through my diagnosed years
Just be this close and you'll hear the numa
You're the only one that's going to notice me
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 leave me in the morning when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proofs that I'm a dreamer
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
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, and I'm
Oh, and I'm
On my way to believing
