anything under the sun, moon, and stars

I was sobbing silently on the other line, holding it all in. I got carried away by my feelings I forgot he was on the other line. I hope he did not hear me sipping soup or something. It'd be sooo embarrassing.

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


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
'cause none of it was ever worth the risk


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
ooh ooh...


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
