This is the story of a girl

Who cried a river and drowned the whole world

while she looks so sad in photographs

I absolutely love her

When she smiles



And how many days in a year?

She woke up with hope but she only found tears

And I can be so insincere

Making her promises never for real

As long as she stands there waiting

Wearin' the holes in the 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

But 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

while she looks so sad in photographs

I absolutely love her

When she smiles



How many lovers would stay?

Just to put up with this shit every day and all day

How did we wind up this way?

Watchin' our mouths for the words that we say

As long as we stand here waitin'

Wearin' the clothes of the souls that we choose

How do we get there today?

When we're walkin' too far for the price of our shoes



Your clothes never wear as well the next day

And your hair never falls in quite the same way

But 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

while she looks so sad and lonley there

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

But 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



This is the story of a girl

Her pretty face she hid from the world!

And while she looks so sad and lonely there

I absolutely love her



This is the story of a girl

Who cried a river and drowned the whole world

while she looks so sad in photographs

I absolutely love her

When she smiles



When she smiles
