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 a year
She woke up with hope, but she only found tears?
And I can be so insincere
Making her promises never for real
As long as she stands there waitin'
Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
How many days disappear
When 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
Yeah, 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 that we say
As long as we stand here waitin'
Wearing the clothes of the souls that we choose
How do we get there today
When we walkin' to far for the price of the shoes
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
But 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
Well, 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
A 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

This is the story of a girl

And your hair never falls in quite the same way
