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
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 [bad word] 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

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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] away
to the safety of yesterdays child

Oh, oh....
Woaaah....
