[Refrain :]
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and d rowned the whole world
While she looks so sad in phot ographs
I a bsolutely love her
When she s miles
How many days in the year
She woke up with hope but she only found tears
And I can be so incincere
Making her promises nev er for real
As l ong as she stands there waitin g
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 cl othes never wear as well the next day
Your hair never falls in quite the same way
But you never seem to run out of things to say
[Refrain]
How many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this every da y 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 souls that we choose
How do we get there today
When we're wa lking too far for the price of our shoes
[Refrain]
Instrumental : (4x)
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
While she looks so sad in pho tographs
I ab solutely love her
This is the story of a girl
Her pretty face s he hid from the world
While she l ooks so sad and l onely there
I a bsolutely love her
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
While she looks so sad in pho tographs
I ab solutely love her
When she sm iles
When she smile s
