Darling I

亲爱的

Know we talked about it one too many times

我知道 这个话题我们已经谈过太多次

How there was something missing in our lives

我们的生命里缺少了什么

A little life

另一个小生命

So we tried

于是我们努力尝试

It was more than just a twinkle in your eye

你的眼中从此笑容满溢

But some things you just don't get to decide

但有些事注定不是你我能够决定

At least we tried

至少我们努力过

The first casualty of life is the plan

我们的未来计划被无情打破

When I look back I'm not even sure that

回想那时 我甚至不确定

We were thinking

我们是否还能正常思考

Somewhere

遥远的某处

She's probably dancing with her blonde hair

也许她正在快乐地跳着舞 她一头金发

Falling like ribbons on her shoulders

轻轻落在肩膀上 如精致丝带般美丽

Just like we always saw

我们时常想象这幅画面

Bright eyes

她有双明亮的眼睛

Spinning in circles in the sunlight

在温暖的阳光下转了一圈又一圈

Darling we tried but now it's over

亲爱的 我们已经尽力 但现在一切已成定局

We had it all and then we lost

我们曾拥有幸福 最后又痛失

The girl that never was

那个没能长大的女孩

If I could say

多希望我可以

A million words to take away the pain

用千言万语驱散痛苦悲伤

What kills me is you trying to take the blame

你想担下所有罪责 这令我心如刀割

You're not to blame

你并没有做错什么

I'll never say I told you so

我永远不会说如今的结果我有所预料

But sad I've thought the words

但这样的话曾飘过我的脑海 令我悲伤不已

Tried drowning you in happiness

想要让你沉浸在幸福与喜悦中

I only make it worse

未曾料到我只会让情况更糟

We never should've picked a name

我们不该为孩子取名字

'Cause now she has a face

因为现在她的面容已铭刻在你我心里

And now no matter what we do

如今无论我们如何努力

No one will take her place

再也没有人可以取代她的位置

Somewhere

遥远的某处

She's probably dancing with her blonde hair

也许她正在快乐地跳着舞 她一头金发

Falling like ribbons on her shoulders

轻轻落在肩膀上 如精致丝带般美丽

Just like we always saw

我们时常想象这幅画面

Bright eyes

她有双明亮的眼睛

Spinning in circles in the sunlight

在温暖的阳光下转了一圈又一圈

Darling we tried but now it's over

亲爱的 我们已经尽力 但现在一切已成定局

We had it all and then we lost

我们曾拥有幸福 最后又痛失

The girl that never was

那个没能长大的女孩

I know we'll never know you

我明白 我们再也没机会好好认识你

I know we'll never hold you

我明白 我们再也没机会好好抱抱你

I never got to show you

我还没来得及向你展示

My love

我对你的爱

'Cause somewhere

因为遥远的某处

You're probably dancing with your blonde hair

也许你正在快乐地跳着舞 你一头金发

Falling like ribbons on your shoulders

轻轻落在肩膀上 如精致丝带般美丽

Just like we always saw
