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 kinda correlate my life a bit with this song since i first heard (although it was in my hdd all along x.x) 2 days ago.
sorry, i'm just comparing it with my parents love life...felt like it just withered and my parents aren't on good terms...
dad proclaiming that he has his "own" needs - sex life obviously+ affair with a filipino girl.
mom proclaiming that well dad has been unfaithful to her since when they got married.
and i just thot what's the point of it all when things are momentarily...
she often ask me what's next for her, once divorce is finalised? i guess life has to go on and that's what i said in reassurance and telling her, reminding her that everything will be okay for her. that she won't lose out since she has us...
but i know what she meant...she just wants a husband who is faithful and do things together...someone who just stay by her side and someone who can discuss things together. i know having a husband is different from kids altogether for women because having someone to love for eg a husband is like a best friend...someone whom she can turn to.
as for my dad...i feel pity for him...if only he's not so arrogant and be closer to us even when he was younger...talk to us more about life...joke a lil more...which actually he did with me since i know i was the closest to him back then. we used to go macdonalds together and he took me to marina sq, snapping photos away...i used to help him @ work and actually i did love doing his work....prepping for people's weddings...banquet stuffs...making sure that everything is in order...but i realised i never thot of becoming a wedding planner. i did wanna be like him in this kinda career but he said no. i used to look up for him for being patient and being practical more about life. we used to do art together, building ships out of ice cream sticks, carving figure out of wooden block...and many more...
only up to now, he sidetracked and i don't know what to say to him as i found out that he's stubborn after exchanging words while texting.
sighs, he's a changed man...i can't look up to him anymore like i used to...feelings changed and so does mine.
as much as i don't like my old man, i can't hate him.
as for mom, i just wished i could hug her and tell her everything will be alright. but i can't...i know that if i do i will surely breakdown...so right up to now, i'm keeping a straight face...smile...and be stronger even i know that i'm not.
hais, typing these made me teared as i recalled back all the memories when i was a kid...i wish i'm a kid again cuz when ur a kid u will only think of happy stuffs.
now that i know i'm almost in my mid 20s, it's quite hard to be happy because i worry a lot about life...
oh whatever up there, please please please make me a stronger person to withstand whatever things that's gonna happen with my family...
