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 yesterday's child
She wants to hide, she can't run away
To the safety of yesterday's 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
