Darlin′ I know we talked about it one too many times

How there was somethin' missin′ in our lives

A little lifeSo 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 thinkin′

Somewhere she′s probably dancin' with her blonde hair

Fallin′ like ribbons on her shoulders

Just like we always saw

Bright eyes, spinnin' in circles in the sunlight

Darlin′ 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 tryin′ 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 drownin′ 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 will take her place

Somewhere she′s probably dancin' with her blonde hair

Fallin′ like ribbons on her shoulders

Just like we always saw

Bright eyes, spinnin' in circles in the sunlight

Darlin′ 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 dancin′ with your blonde hair

Fallin' like ribbons on your shoulders

Just like we always saw

Bright eyes, spinnin′ in circles in the sunlight

Darlin' we tried but now it′s over

We had it all and then we lost

The girl that never was
