EGO!

When i was younger
I saw my daddy CRY 
And cursed 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 i promised
Id 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 was content
With LONELINESS

Cos NONE of it was ever worth the RISK, but

You, are, the only exception
You, are, the ONLY exception 
You, are, the only exception
 You, are, the only EXCEPTION

Ive got a tight grip on reality
 But i cant
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 proof its not a DREAM
Ohh---
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
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only EXCEPTION

And im on my way to believing it.
Oh, And Im on my way to believing it.
