 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

 And I can be so insincere

Making the 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

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

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 of the souls that we choose

How do we get there today

 When we're walking 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

 And while she looks so sad and lonely there

 I absolutely love her

 When she smiles

Solo

 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 photgraphs

 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...
