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

Chorus
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
