This is the story of a girl

Who cried a river and drowned the whole world

And while she looked so sad in photographs

I absolutely love her when she smiles



How many days in the year she woke up with hope

But she only found tears

Actin' so insincere

Making the promises never for real

As long as she stands there waiting

Wearing the holes in soles of her shoes

How many days disappear

You look in the mirror so how do you choose

Your clothes never wear as well the next day

And your hair never falls in quite the same way

You never seem to run out of things to say



This is the story of a girl

Who cried a river and drowned the whole world

And while she looked so sad in photographs

I absolutely love her when she smiles



How many lovers would stay

Just to put up with this shit day after day

How do we wind up this way

Watchin' the mouths for the words I would say

As long as we stand here waiting

Wearing the clothes of the soles I would chose

How do we get there today

If we're walkin' too far from the price of the shoes



Your clothes never wear as well the next day

And your hair never falls in quite the same way

You never run out of things to say



This is the story of a girl

Who cried a river and drowned the whole world

And while she looked so sad in photographs

I absolutely love her when she smiles



And your clothes never wear as well the next day

And your hair never falls in quite the same way

You never seem to run out of things to say



This is the story of a girl

Who cried a river and drowned the whole world

And while she looks so sad in photographs

I absolutely love her
