* This is the story of a girl 
Who cried a river and drowned the whole 
world
And while she looked so sad in photographs 
I absolutely love her 
(when she smiles)

How many days in the year she woke up with hope 
But 
she only found tears 
Actin' so insincere 
Making the promises never for 
real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in soles of her 
shoes
How many days disapear
You look in the mirror so how do you 
choose

** (And) Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your 
hair never falls out quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things 
to say

[Repeat *]

How many lovers would stay
Just to put up 
with this s**t day after day
How do we wind up this way
Watchin' the 
mouths for the words I would say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing 
the clothes of the soles I would chose
How do we get there today 
If we're 
walkin' to far from the price of the shoes

[Repeat ** , *]

[Repeat 
** , * , * , *]

When she smiles
