Song
This song was sung by Kezia Holland to Will Aubrey.

Lyrics
(Guitar Strumming)

Kezia: 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 re-assemble it.

And my mother 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.

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'd have sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness.

(Guitar gets stronger)

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

(Electric guitar plays)

But you are the only exception,

You are the only exception,

You are the only exception,

You are the only exception.

(Keyboard begins to play)

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 I wake up,

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, Ohoh-woah-oh!

(Guitar and keyboard turn off and only acoustic guitar plays)

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

(Drums and keyboard come back in)

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

(Again, only acoustic guitar plays)

And I'm on my way to believing...

And I'm

On

My way to believing.
