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..
