Chorus
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
1st 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 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
Pre-chorus
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
Chorus
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
2nd Verse:
How many lovers would stay
just to put up with this everyday 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
Pre-chorus
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
Chorus
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
Interlude
x4):
Pre-chorus
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
Chorus/Outro:
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
who's pretty face she hid from the world
and while she looks so sad in photographs,
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
