The Only Exception Lyrics

Let's see those cellphones and lighters up high

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, but darlin'

You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

Looks gorgeous

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 it 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
Oh, you are the only exception
Oh, you are the only exception
Oh, you are the only exception, ah-ha

I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know your leaving in the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, no-oh

You are the only exception, sing it
You are the only exception (take it on, Denver, woo)
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
Ok, this is your part
And I'm on my way to believing
Yeah

What is the Meaning of The Only Exception?

This poignant track explores the theme of vulnerability in love, colored by past experiences. The lyrics unfold a narrative of a person scarred by the failed relationship of their parents, leading to a deep-seated skepticism about love. This skepticism is challenged when they encounter someone who becomes their 'only exception' - an individual who makes them rethink their beliefs about love and consider taking the risk. The song beautifully captures the struggle between guarding oneself due to past traumas and opening up to the possibility of experiencing love. It's ultimately a journey towards belief in love again, despite fears and reservations.
