[00:23.10]When I was younger I saw
[00:26.99]My daddy cry
[00:29.70]And curse at the wind
[00:33.80]He broke his own heart And I watched
[00:38.02]As he tried to reassemble it
[00:45.01]And my mama swore
[00:47.44]That she would never let herself forget
[00:55.93]And that was the day that I promised
[01:00.02]I'd never sing of love
[01:02.94]If it does not exist
[01:05.86]But, darling, you are the only exception
[01:12.47]you are the only exception
[01:17.92]you are the only exception
[01:23.28]you are the only exception
[01:34.59]maybe I know somewhere
[01:38.11]Deep in my soul
[01:41.33]That love never lasts
[01:45.76]And we've got to find other ways
[01:49.59]To make it alone
[01:52.50]Or keep a straight face
[01:56.59]And I've always lived like this
[02:00.58]Keeping a comfortable distance
[02:07.38]And up until now, I had sworn to myself
[02:12.19]That I'm content with loneliness
[02:18.33]Because none of it was ever worth the risk
[02:21.50]you are the only exception
[02:26.45]you are the only exception
[02:32.01]you are the only exception
[02:37.20]you are the only exception
[02:48.12]I've got a tight grip on reality
[02:51.03]But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
[02:59.05]I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
[03:04.27]Leave me of some kind of proof it's not a dream oh
[03:16.10]You are the only exception
[03:21.55]You are the only exception
[03:27.09]You are the only exception
[03:32.39]You are the only exception
[03:38.19]I'm on my way to believing
[03:48.56]Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
