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 



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 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 and lonely there 



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!
