This is the story of a girl
 Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
 And while she looks so sad in photograpsh
 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 insincere
 Making the promises never for real
 As long as she stands there waiting
 Wearing the holes in the souls of her shoes
 How many days disappear?
 You look in the mirror so how do you choose?

 And the clothes that you wear
 Look swell the next day
 Your hair never falls in quite the same way
 You never seem [bad word] out of things to say

 This is the story of a girl
 And while she looks so sad in photographs
 I absolutely love her
 When she smiles

 How many lovers would stay?
 Just to put up with this [bad word] day after 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 on the souls of our shoes
 How do we get there today?
 When we're walking too far for the price of her shoes

 And the clothes that you wear
 Look swell the next day
 Your hair never falls in quite the same way
 You never seem [bad word] 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 photograpsh
 I absolutely love her
 When she smiles

 And the clothes that you wear
 Look swell the next day
 Your hair never falls in quite the same way
 You never seem [bad word] 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 photograpsh
 I absolutely love her

 This is the story of a girl
 Her 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 photograpsh
 I absolutely love her
 When she smiles
 When she smiles
