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? 

I can be so insincere 

Making the promises never for real 

As long as she stands there waiting 

Wearing the holes in the souls of her shoes 

How many days disappear? 

You look in the mirror so how do you choose? 



And the clothes that you wear 

Look swell the next day 

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 

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 on the souls of our shoes 

How do we get there today? 

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



And the clothes that you wear 

Look swell the next day 

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 



And the clothes that you wear 

Look swell the next day 

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 



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!
