Only Exception

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 darling,

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
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
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

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 I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing

I don't get it

I don't understand why I Am being punished for living my life. I have not been the best child in my past and I Am sure I gave my parents a hard time, but I am trying. I Am trying really hard to make a better life for me and my children. It is not fair to get punished for doing what I think is right. Living my life the way I want to and doing the things I think are going to get me farther in life. No one has the right to belittle ma and make me feel like crap for this. I am a grown woman and I am fine and dandy with the way things are. Don't judge me, don't be an ass, just let it happen. If you don't like it, don't pay attention, not gonna be my fault you missed out!!!!!
