This is the story of a girl Who cried a river and drowned a whole world But while she looks so sad in photographs I absolutely love her when she smiles (Verse) How many days in a year She woke up with hope But she only found tears And I can be so insincere Making the promise is never for real As long as she stays 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 as next day Your hair never fall in quite the same way You never seem to run out of things to say (Refrain) This is the story of a girl Who cried a river and drowned a whole world But while she looks so sad in photographs I absolutely love her when she smiles (Verse) How many lovers would stay Just to put up with this shit day after day How do we wind up this way Watching the mouths of the words that we say As long as we stand here waiting Wearing the holes in the soles of our shoes wearing the holes in the soles of our shoes How do we get there today? When we're walking too far from the price of our shoes Clothes never wear as well as next day Your hair never falls in quite the same way You never seem to run out of things to say (Refrain) This is the story of a girl who cried a river and drowned a whole world but while she looks so sad in photographs I absolutely love her when she smiles (Instrumental) (Part of a verse) 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 things to say (Refrain) This is the story of a girl Who cried a river And drowned a whole world And while she looks so sad in photographs I absolutely love her (Refrain) This is the story of a girl Who pretty face she hid from the world And while she looks so sad and lonely there I absolutely love her (Refrain) This is a story of a girl Who cried a river And drowned a whole world But while she looked so sad in photographs I absolutely love her when she smiles When she smiles
