Darling I
亲爱的
Know we talked about it one too many times
How there was something missing in our lives
我知道 这个话题我们已经谈过太多次
A little life
我们的生命里缺少了什么
So we tried
另一个小生命
It was more than just a twinkle in your eye
于是我们努力尝试
But some things you just don't get to decide
你的眼中从此笑容满溢
At least we tried
但有些事注定不是你我能够决定
The first casualty of life is the plan
When I look back I'm not even sure that
至少我们努力过
We were thinking
Somewhere
我们的未来计划被无情打破
She's probably dancing with her blonde hair
回想那时 我甚至不确定
Falling like ribbons on her shoulders
我们是否还能正常思考
Just like we always saw
Bright eyes
遥远的某处
Spinning in circles in the sunlight
也许她正在快乐地跳着舞 她一头金发
Darling we tried but now it's over
轻轻落在肩膀上 如精致丝带般美丽
We had it all and then we lost
我们时常想象这幅画面
The girl that never was
If I could say
她有双明亮的眼睛
A million words to take away the pain
在温暖的阳光下转了一圈又一圈
What kills me is you trying to take the blame
亲爱的 我们已经尽力 但现在一切已成定局
You're not to blame
我们曾拥有幸福 最后又痛失
I'll never say I told you so
那个没能长大的女孩
But sad I've thought the words
Tried drowning you in happiness
多希望我可以
I only make it worse
用千言万语驱散痛苦悲伤
We never should've picked a name
你想担下所有罪责 这令我心如刀割
'Cause now she has a face
And now no matter what we do
你并没有做错什么
No one will take her place
Somewhere
我永远不会说如今的结果我有所预料
She's probably dancing with her blonde hair
但这样的话曾飘过我的脑海 令我悲伤不已
Falling like ribbons on her shoulders
想要让你沉浸在幸福与喜悦中
Just like we always saw
未曾料到我只会让情况更糟
Bright eyes
我们不该为孩子取名字
Spinning in circles in the sunlight
因为现在她的面容已铭刻在你我心里
Darling we tried but now it's over
如今无论我们如何努力
We had it all and then we lost
再也没有人可以取代她的位置
The girl that never was
遥远的某处
I know we'll never know you
也许她正在快乐地跳着舞 她一头金发
I know we'll never hold you
轻轻落在肩膀上 如精致丝带般美丽
I never got to show you
我们时常想象这幅画面
My love
'Cause somewhere
她有双明亮的眼睛
You're probably dancing with your blonde hair
在温暖的阳光下转了一圈又一圈
Falling like ribbons on your shoulders
亲爱的 我们已经尽力 但现在一切已成定局
Just like we always saw
我们曾拥有幸福 最后又痛失
Bright eyes
Spinning in circles in the sunlight
那个没能长大的女孩
Darling we tried but now it's over
我明白 我们再也没机会好好认识你
We had it all and then we lost
The girl that never was
我明白 我们再也没机会好好抱抱你
