[Verse 1] I learned to read the cracks Before the glass could fall Every promise looked like smoke Painted on the wall I kept my heart on lock Kept my hands off the flame If you want a clean escape Don’t ask me for my name I’ve seen the ink run dry I’ve seen the best ones bend So I built my little fortress And called that my defense Then you walked in calm and slow Like you already knew Every bruise I tried to hide Had room enough for you [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t say trust I don’t say stay I don’t say forever That word gets in the way But when you look at me I let my walls fall low Something in me leans Like it wants to know [Chorus] You’re the one exception The one I choose Every morning, every morning It’s always you No ring, no crowd Just this I know You are the proof I was wrong to go You’re the one exception The one I keep Every morning, every morning You choose me [Verse 2] I used to count the exits Know which door would slam Love was just a contract Signed by a shaking hand I never liked the gamble Never liked the fall If I gave you all my pieces You could lose them all But you don’t hold me tightly You don’t beg, you don’t plead You just leave the window open And let my fear breathe That kind of gentleness It hits me like a song Turns a broken kind of lonely Into something strong [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t say trust I don’t say stay I don’t say forever That word gets in the way But when you touch my hand I stop and I know Something in me softens Something lets go [Chorus] You’re the one exception The one I choose Every morning, every morning It’s always you No ring, no crowd Just this I know You are the proof I was wrong to go You’re the one exception The one I keep Every morning, every morning You choose me [Verse 3] There were nights I almost ran Just to test the line See if love would chase me Through the dark in time But you never made a scene Never made me prove You just met me where I was And let me move In the quiet after hard days When my thoughts got loud You would pull me back to center Without making sound And all those old predictions Started coming loose Like a knot that held forever Till it met the truth [Bridge] Maybe forever scares me Maybe that’s my flaw Maybe love is still a door I never learned to knock But if you’re beside me I can let it be One day at a time Feels enough to me [Break] Morning by morning I’m learning your name Morning by morning I’m not the same [Final Chorus] You’re the one exception The one I choose Every morning, every morning It’s always you No ring, no crowd Just this I know You are the proof I was wrong to go You’re the one exception The one I keep Every morning, every morning You choose me You’re the one exception The one I choose Every morning, every morning It’s always you
