The Girl That Never Was

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
