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 hart-, hart and I watched
as he tried to reassemble it.
And my momma swore
that she would never let herself forget.
And that was the dag that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.
But darling,
u are the only exception.
u are the only exception.
u are the only exception.
u 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.
of 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 u are the only exception.
u are the only exception.
u are the only exception.
u are the only exception.
u 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 u wake up.
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.
u are the only exception. [x4]
u are the only exception. [x4]
And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.

Give me attention
I need it now
Too much distance
To measure it out
Out loud
Tracing patterns across a personal map
And making pictures where the lines overlap
Where the lines overlap
No one is as lucky as us
We’re not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Call me over
Tell me how u got so far
Never making a single sound
I’m not used to it but I can learn
Nothing to it
I’ve never been happier
I've never been happier
No one is as lucky as us
We’re not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Now I’ve got a feeling
If I sang this loud enough
u would sing it back to me
I’ve got a feeling
If I sang this loud enough
u would sing it back to me
I’ve got a feeling
I've got a feeling
u would sing it back to me
u would sing it back to me
No one is as lucky as us
We’re not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
I need it now
Too much distance
To measure it out
Out loud
Tracing patterns across a personal map
And making pictures where the lines overlap
Where the lines overlap
No one is as lucky as us
We’re not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Call me over

I’ve never been happier
I've never been happier

Your lies are bleeding through your teeth
Your eyes the only ones failing me
Your promises never really meant a thing
But they flowed from your lips so easily
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay away
Stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay away, away
It's my best at your heart
The glass that rips your word apart
Is it the guilt that keeps u up at night when your in bed?
Well u can sleep sound honey, I'll return to attack
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay away
Stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay away, away
I never was too good with goodbyes
u made it easy when your greed presided
With all the evil that you've provided
u still put the "good" in "goodbye"
In goodbye, in goodbye
Stay away, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Your eyes the only ones failing me
Your promises never really meant a thing
But they flowed from your lips so easily
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay away
Stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay away, away
It's my best at your heart
The glass that rips your word apart
Is it the guilt that keeps u up at night when your in bed?
Well u can sleep sound honey, I'll return to attack
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay away
Stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay away, away
I never was too good with goodbyes
u made it easy when your greed presided
With all the evil that you've provided
u still put the "good" in "goodbye"
In goodbye, in goodbye
Stay away, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me

Too alarming now to talk it out
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth of consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, racing around
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth of consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
Kudos my hero leaving all the best
u know my hero, the one that's on
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
Too alarming now to talk it out

Use that evidence, racing around
There goes my hero

There goes my hero
He's ordinary

While the rest of them peter out
