Lyrics

Darling I know we talked about it one too many times.

How there was something missing in our lives.

A little life.

So we tried. It was more than just a twinkle in your eye.

But some things you just don’t get to decide.

At least we tried.

The first casualty of life is the plan.

When I look back I’m not even sure that,

We were thinking.

Cause somewhere,

She’s probably dancing with her blonde hair.

Falling like ribbons on her shoulders,

Just like we always saw.

Bright eyes,

Spinning in circles in the sunlight.

Darling, we tried but now it’s over.

We had it all and then we lost,

The girl that never was.

If could say a million words to take away the pain.

What kills me is you trying to take the blame.

You’re not to blame.

I’ll never say I told you so,

But sad I’ve thought the words.

Tried drowning you in happiness.

I only make it worse.

We never should have picked a name,

Cause now she has a face.

And now no matter what we do,

No one’ll take her place.

Cause somewhere,

She’s probably dancing with her blonde hair.

Falling like ribbons on her shoulders,

Just like we always saw.

Bright eyes,

Spinning in circles in the sunlight.

Darling, we tried but now it’s over.

We had it all and then we lost,

The girl that never was.

I know we’ll never know you.

I know we’ll never hold you

I never got to show you my love.

Cause somewhere,

She’s probably dancing with her blonde hair.

Falling like ribbons on her shoulders,

Just like we always saw.

Bright eyes,

Spinning in circles in the sunlight.

Darling, we tried but now it’s over.

We had it all and then we lost,

The girl that never was.
