When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
As I watched
As he tried to re-assemble it
And my momma swore
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
Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never last
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
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Well, you are the only exception
