- The Only Exception LyricsWhen 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 momma 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
Well you are the only exception
Well you are the only exception
Well you are the only exception
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 had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Well you are the only exception
Well you are the only exception
Well you are the only exception
Well you are the only exception and I
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're leaving in the morning when you wake up!
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, but Oh-Oh-Oh!
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 on my way to believing
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma 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
Well you are the only exception
Well you are the only exception
Well you are the only exception
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 had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Well you are the only exception
Well you are the only exception
Well you are the only exception and I
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're leaving in the morning when you wake up!
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, but Oh-Oh-Oh!
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 on my way to believing

I'm saying this for me, but also cause I mean it. J, I'm truly sorry I ever hurt you. You meant everything to me, I loved you more than you know. You may be gone, but I'm right here.

I ever promised myself I'll never fall in love again. Then someone came along and made me believe in love once again. Strange, but now, he's the only one I can trust and love. He's my only exception.

I think this song means that she had made a rule for herself, that love couldn't exist for her but being with him, knowing him, loving him made it all worth it. And she's on her way to believing it.
