Before we get to lyrics , let me just say this song is AWESOME. I upendo 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 moyo and I watched
as he tried to reassemble it.

And my momma swore
that she would never let herself forget.
And that was the siku that I promised
I'd never sing of upendo if it does not exist.

But darling,
wewe are the only exception.
wewe are the only exception.
wewe are the only exception.
wewe are the only exception.

Maybe I know somewhere
deep in my soul
that upendo never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways
to make it alone.
au 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 wewe are the only exception.
wewe are the only exception.
wewe are the only exception.
wewe are the only exception.
wewe 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 wewe wake up.
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.

wewe are the only exception. [x4]

wewe are the only exception. [x4]

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