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 When she smiles How many days in a year She woke up with hope but she only found tears? I can be so insincere Making the promises never for real As long as she stands there waiting Wearing the holes in the souls of her shoes How many days disappear? You look in the mirror so how do you choose? And the clothes that you wear Look swell the next day 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 And 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 day after day How did we wind up this way? Watching our mouths for the words that we say As long as we stand here waiting Wearing the clothes on the souls of our shoes How do we get there today? When we're walking too far for the price of her shoes And the clothes that you wear Look swell the next day 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 When she smiles And the clothes that you wear Look swell the next day 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 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 And while she looks so sad in photographs I absolutely love her When she smiles When she smiles!
