Glee Cast - The Only Exception Lyrics

[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 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

[CHORUS:]
But Darlin...
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
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

[CHORUS:]
well you are the only exception
you are the only exception
you are the only exception
you are the only exception

[Bridge:]
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

oh oh oh

[CHORUS:]
you are the only exception
you are the only exception
you are the only exception
you are the only exception

[repeat chorus 1x]

and I'm on my way to believing
oh and I'm on my way to believing
