VERSE 1
             
When I was you

              
nger I saw my 

           
daddy cry and 

        
curse at the w

ind
             
He broke his o

              
wn heart and I

              
 watched as he

           
 tried to re-a

        
ssemble it
             
And my mama sw

              
ore that she w

              
ould never let

           
 herself forge


t
             
And that was t

              
he day that I 

              
promised I'd n

    
ever sing of l

ove 
          
if it does not


 exist, but da

rling

VERSE 2
             
Maybe I know s

   
omewhere deep 

in my soul tha

t love never l

asts
             
And we've got 

          
to find other 


ways to make i

t alone or kee

p a straight f

ace
             
And I've alway

     
s lived like t

his, keeping a

 comfortable d

istance
             
And up until n

           
ow I had sworn

  
 to myself tha

t I'm content 

with lonelines

s
           
Because none o


f it was ever 

worth the risk


CHORUS

You are the on

ly exception
      
You are the on

ly exception

You are the on

ly exception
      
You are the on

      
ly exception
