She wipes a tear from her brow
She's been crying again
She's been walking into walls again
Behind her quivering smile
There's a secret
That goes deeper than the cuts she hides
Her head's spinning around
He beat her soul to the ground
A grown woman in pain
And all she longs to be
Is that little girl again
She screams inside
And all she wants to be
All she wants to be
is yesterdays's child
She wants to hide
She can't run away
to the safety of yesterdays child
Curled up, shivering, alone
She's been hurt again
She's been walking into wall again
Her children keep her alive
They're her sanity
But they're the reason that she has to stay
A grown woman in pain
And all she longs to be
Is that little girl again
She screams inside
And all she wants to be
All she wants to be
is yesterdays's child
She wants to hide
She can't run away
to the safety of yesterdays child
She screams inside
And all she wants to be
All she wants to be
is yesterdays's child
She wants to hide
She can't run away
to the safety of yesterdays child
