Story Of A Girl Lyrics

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 smilesHow 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 waitingWearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
How many days disappear
When you look in the mirror
Say how do you chooseYour 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 sayThis 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 smilesHow 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 sayAs 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 shoesYour 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 sayThis 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 smilesWell, 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 sayThis 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 herThis 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 herThis 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
