oh, and i'm on my way to believing

When I was young, I saw my daddy cry & curse at the wind
He broke his own heart

And I watched as he tried to reassemble it

And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget

That was the day that I promised

I'd never sing of love if it doesn't exist

But, darling, 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 and keep a straight face
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

Well, 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

*Love and thanks to my dear friend Sarah for turning me onto this song today. And for playing it on repeat the entire way home. :)
