Chorus)

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

and I can be so insincere,

Makin' 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, when you look in the mirror

say 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....



(CHORUS)



How many lovers would say

Just to put up with this everyday and all 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 of the soles of her shoes

How do we get there today?

When we're walking too far for the price of her 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 and lonely there, I absolutely lover 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,

who's 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
