10.Walking Into Walls
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 'round
he beat her soul to the ground
a grown woman in pain
and all she wants to be
is that little girl again
CHORUS:
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 that she has to stay
A grown woman in pain
and all she wants to be
is that little girl again
CHORUS:
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
(yesterdays child)
(yesterdays child)
(yesterdays child)
(oh yesterdays child)
Oh...
CHORUS:
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
Oh...oh...wow oh...
