When You Let Down Your Hair

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
