- She wipes the tear from her brow She’s been cryin 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 bet 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 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 walls again Her children keep her alive They’re her sanity But they’re the reason why 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 child She wants to hide, she can't run away To the safety, of yesterdays chiiiiild yesterdays chiiiiild yesterdays chiiiiild yesterdays chiiiiild ooohh.. She screams inside, and all she wants to be All she wants to be, is yesterdays child She wants to hide, she can't run away To the safety, of yesterdays child Ooh.. ooooh.. oh oh oh ohhh..
