This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
While she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutly 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
Makin the promises never for real
As long as she stands there waitin
Wearin the holes in the souls 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
N while she looks so sad in photographs,
I absolutly love her
When she smiles

How many lovers would stay
Just-ta put up with every day and all days
How did we wind up this way
Watchin the mouths for the words that we say
As long as we stand here waitin
Wearin the clothes of the souls of our choose
How do we get there today
When we're walkin to 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
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 absolutly love her
When she smiles

*(instrumental break)*

And 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 thins to sayyy...

This is the story of a girl
