This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned a whole world
But while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her when she smiles
(Verse)
How many days in a year
She woke up with hope
But she only found tears
And I can be so insincere
Making the promise is never for real
As long as she stays there waiting
Wearing 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 as next day
Your hair never fall in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say
(Refrain)
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned a whole world
But while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
when she smiles
(Verse)
How many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this shit day after day
How do we wind up this way
Watching the mouths of the words that we say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the holes in the soles of our shoes
wearing the holes in the soles of our shoes
How do we get there today?
When we're walking too far from the price of our shoes
Clothes never wear as well as next day
Your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say
(Refrain)
This is the story of a girl
who cried a river and drowned a whole world
but while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
when she smiles
(Instrumental)
(Part of a verse)
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
(Refrain)
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river
And drowned a whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
(Refrain)
This is the story of a girl
Who pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
(Refrain)
This is a story of a girl
Who cried a river
And drowned a whole world
But while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
when she smiles
When she smiles
