The Kids We Could've Had Lyrics

Painted dreams on a canvas wide

Swimming in the sea of what might have been

Whispers of laughter echo inside

Life untangled from the moments we've seen

Memories of futures that never came true

Holding on tight to shadows we weave

Empty playgrounds and skies so blue

Ghosts of what we once believed

Imaginary footsteps on the sand

Tiny fingers reaching out for our hands

Longing hearts and eyes so sad

For the kids we could've had

Crayons and castles left on a shelf

Fairytales waiting to be told

Hearts filled with an ache so deep

In the stories that we never unfold

A room painted in colors so soft

Sunlight streaming through an open door

Dreams of nights we never tucked in

Love letters that we never wrote before

Imaginary footsteps on the sand

Tiny fingers reaching out for our hands

Longing hearts and eyes so sad

For the kids we could've had
