This is the story of a girl Who cried a river and drowned the whole world And while she looked so sad in photographs I absolutely love her, when she smiles How many days in the 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 Wearing the holes in the soles 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 And while she looked 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 do we wind up this way Watchin' the mouths for the words I would say As long as we stand here waiting Wearing the clothes of the soles I would choose How do we get there today If we're walkin' to far from the price of the 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 looked so sad and lonely there I absolutely love her, when she smiles 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 absolutely love her This is the story of a girl Who's pretty face she hid from the world And while she looked 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 looked so sad in photographs I absolutely love her, when she smiles, when she smiles
