Chorus

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

Verse

How many days in the year

She woke up with hope but she only found tears

And I can be so incincere

Making her promises never for real

As long as she stands there waiting

Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes

How many days disappear

When you look in the mirror so how do you choose

Bridge

Your clothes never wear as well the next day

Your hair never falls in quite the same way

But you never seem to run out of things to say

Chorus

Verse 2

How many lovers would stay

Just to put up with this every day and all 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 of the souls that we choose

How do we get there today

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

Solo

Bridge

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

This is the story of a girl

Her pretty face she hid from the world

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
