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
