  • 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

    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 I 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've picked a name
    'Cause now she has a face
    And now no matter what we do
    No one will take her place

    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
    You're probably dancing with your blonde hair
    Falling like ribbons on your 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
