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 Yesterdays child Yesterdays child Yesterdays child Oh 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 Oh, oh... Woaaah...
