This is the story of a girl
who cried a river and drowned a whole world
why 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
i can be so insensere
making the promises never for real
as long 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
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 a whole world
why she looks 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
watching our mouths for the words that we say
as long as we stand here waiting
wearing the holes in the soles of our shoes
how do we get there today
when were walking too far from 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 gril
who cried a river and drowned a whole world
why she looks so sad in photographs
i absolutely love her when she smiles

and your clothes never wear as well the next day
and your hair never falls in quite
you never seem to run out of things to say

this is the story of a girl
who cried a river and drowned a whole world
why she looks so sad in photographs
i absolutely love her
this is the story of a girl
who pretty face she hid from the world
why she looks so sad and lonely there
i absolutely love her
this is the story of a girl
who cried a river and drowned a whole world
