Before we get to lyrics , let me just say this song is AWESOME. I love it with all my heart<3.
"The Only Exception"
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 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.

I Climb, I Slip, I Fall
Reaching for your hands
But I lay here all alone
Sweating all your blood
If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love and I
....I will
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause there's no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe theres another way
I Climb, I Slip, I Fall
Reaching for your hands
But I Lay Here All alone
Sweating all your blood
If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love and I
....I Will
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause theres no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe theres another way
[X2]
I Climb, I Slip, I Fall
Into Your Empty hands
but I Lay Here All alone
Sweating all your blood
Reaching for your hands
But I lay here all alone
Sweating all your blood
If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love and I
....I will
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause there's no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe theres another way
I Climb, I Slip, I Fall
Reaching for your hands
But I Lay Here All alone
Sweating all your blood
