The Only Exception 🏳️‍🌈

The 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.

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 at 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 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.

You are the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing.

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.

Words Can Paint A Thousand Pictures

I drove by all the places 

we used to hang out getting wasted

I thought about our last kiss, 

how it felt the way you tasted

And even though your friends 

tell me you're doing fine

Are you somewhere feeling lonely 

even though he's right beside you?

When he says those words that hurt you, 

do you read the ones I wrote you?

Sometimes I start to wonder, 

was it just a lie?

If what we had was real, 

how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

I remember the day you told me 

you were leaving

I remember the make-up 

running down your face

And the dreams you left behind 

you didn't need them

Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia

And forget about the stupid little things

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you

And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all

The pictures that you sent me 

they're still living in my phone

I'll admit I like to see them, 

I'll admit I feel alone

And all my friends keep asking 

why I'm not around

It hurts to know you're happy, 

yeah, it hurts that you've moved on

It's hard to hear your name 

when I haven't seen you in so long

It's like we never happened, was it just a lie?

If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

I remember the day you told me 

you were leaving

I remember the make-up running down your face

And the dreams you left behind 

you didn't need them

Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia

And forget about the stupid little things

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you

And the memories I never can escape

If today I woke up with you right beside me

Like all of this was just some twisted dream

I'd hold you closer than I ever did before

And you'd never slip away

And you'd never hear me say

I remember the day you told me you were leaving

I remember the make-up running down your face

And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them

Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia

And forget about the stupid little things

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you

And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all

No, I'm really not fine at all

Tell me this is just a dream

'Cause I'm really not fine at all
