3 Doors Down – Story of a Girl

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

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 soles of her shoes

How many days disappear?

When you look in the mirror so how do you choose?

Your clothes never wear as well the next day

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

How many lovers would stay?

Just to put up with this day 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 on the soles of our shoes

How do we get there today?

When we’re walking too far for the price of her shoes

Your clothes 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

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

And 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!
