Let Down Your Hair
Once upon a time
They all begged me to "let down my hair"
You are here to help
You are here to rescue me from this tower that I have become a victim to
But what if I didn't mid my fate?
What if letting you up here and letting down my hair wasn't an escape?
If I invite you into this world where you see the life I've made-
I'd pray that you would have the heart to leave me there
I'd hope you would forever turn away
Forget that I ever existed, I deserve to live this way
You see, I will never let down my hair
For if you knew of the world you were inviting yourself into
Simply to rescue me
That I just could not bare
You have earned a lifetime of wonderful things and simply so much more
I won't burden you with my presence
I will keep up my hair, please just leave me alone here
