Walking into Walls

Brian McFadden

She wipes the 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
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

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
