When You Let Down Your Hair Lyrics

When you let down your hair

Don't you run on back to me

With the weight upon your shoulders

You tell me that you're free

Same story as before

Set in a different scene

When you let down your hair

I don't wanna see

When you explore the world

Don't you fly on back to me

With a pack upon your back

You tell me you won't flee

Little bird that leaves the nest

Always comes back to the tree

When you know it's time to leave

I don't wanna see

When you let down your hair

I don't wanna be there

When they all stop and stare

I don't wanna care

Circle back, clear the air

I don't wanna repair

When you tell me I'm rare

I don't wanna care

And when you say your prayers

Don't confess your sins to me

With the planks upon my spine

You denied me thrice and grieved

And when the rooster crowed

It's my hands that had to bleed

Oh, when you say your prayers

I don't want apologies

And when you say your prayers

Don't tell me you're sorry
