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.
Well, darling,
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
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’ve sworn to myself
That i’m content with loneliness.
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
Well 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.
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.
You are the only exception. [x4]
You are the only exception. [x4]
And i’m on my way to believing.
Oh, and i’m on my way to believing.
Cuando era joven
Vi a mi papá llorar
Y maldecir el viento
Se rompio su propio corazon
Y yo lo miraba tratando de rearmarlo.
Y mi mamá juró
Que nunca se permitiria olvidar
Y ese fue el dia que me prometi
No cantar sobre el amor si no existia.
Pero, cariño,
Tu, eres, la unica excepcion [x4]
Tal vez sé, en algun lugar
Profundo en mi alma
Que el amor nunca dura
Y tenemos que encontrar otros caminos
Para hacerlo solos
O mantener una cara directa
Y yo siempre vivia asi
Cuidada de un comodo, distanciada
Y hasta ahora
Me habia jurado a mi misma que estaba contenta
Con la mi soledad.
Ninguna compañia merece el riesgo, pero
Tu, eres, la unica excepcion [x4]
Tengo que aferrarme a la realidad,
Pero no puedo
Dejar ir lo que esta frente a mí,
Se que te iras en la mañana al despertar,
Dejame una prueba de que este no es un sueño.
Ohh
Tu, eres, la unica excepcion
Tu, eres, la unica excepcion
Tu, eres, la unica excepcion
Tu, eres, la unica excepcion
Tu, eres, la unica excepcion
Tu, eres, la unica excepcion
Tu, eres, la unica excepcion
Tu, eres, la unica excepcion
Y estoy cerca de comenzar a creer.
Oh, y estoy cerca de comenzar a creer.
