The Girl That Never Was

Darling I know we talked about it one too many timesHow there was something missing in our livesA little lifeSo we tried, it was more than just a twinkle in your eyeBut some things you just don't get to decideAt least we triedThe first casualty of life is the planWhen I look back I'm not even sure thatWe were thinkingSomewhereShe's probably dancing with her blonde hairFalling like ribbons on her shouldersJust likе we always sawBright eyesSpinning in circlеs in the sunlightDarling, we tried but now it's overWe had it all and then we lostThe girl that never wasIf I could say a million words to take away the painWhat kills me is you trying to take the blameYou're not to blameI'll never say I told you soBut sad I've thought the wordsTried drowning you in happinessI only make it worseWe never should have picked a nameCause now she has a faceAnd now no matter what we doNo one will take her placeSomewhereShe's probably dancing with her blonde hairFalling like ribbons on her shouldersJust like we always sawBright eyesSpinning in circles in the sunlightDarling, we tried but now it's overWe had it all and then we lostThe girl that never wasI know we'll never know youI know we'll never hold youI never got to show you my love'Cause somewhereYou're probably dancing with your blonde hairFalling like ribbons on your shouldersJust like we always sawBright eyesSpinning in circles in the sunlightDarling, we tried but now it's overWe had it all and then we lostThe girl that never was
