Story Of A Girl Lyrics - 3 Doors Down

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 smiles 

Now how many days in a year 

She woke up with hope 

But she only found tears 

And I can be so insincere 

Making her promises never for real 

As long as she stands there waiting 

Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes 

Now how many days disappear 

When you look in the mirror? 

So how do you choose? 

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 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 

Now 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 or the soles that we choose 

Now how do we get there today? 

When we're walking too far for 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 girl 

Who cried a river and drowned the whole world 

And while she looks so sad and lonely there 

I absolutely love her 

When she smiles 

Well 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 girl 

Who cried a river and drowned the whole world 

And while she looks so sad in photographs 

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 photographs 

I absolutely love her 

When she smiles 

When she smiles!
