Lyrics
Guess back then I needed to get rid of her
The version of myself who sold him my soul
So I went jawbone length hand me the scissors
Cut it all off now I know that I can say no
Over and over like it’s a prayer
On my terms this body reclamation
Reel and deal and heal in the salon chair
Swept my past right into the waste bin
Now I’m letting it all grow out again
Didn’t think I could get better til I did
Maybe I’m starting to know myself again
And I like how my long hair feels when I’m dancing
I like how my long hair feels
I wish I could go back and fight for her
The version of me who couldn’t talk back
All I can do to make up for the pain is let my ponytail sway
I think I’m ok with that
There’s no way to get out of it untouched
Guess that’s why I turn to reinvention
Years and tears, god it’s too much
Now I’m out of it, cut off all the damn dead ends
Now I’m letting it all grow out again
Didn’t think I could get better til I did
Maybe I’m starting to know myself again
And I like how my long hair feels when I’m dancing
I like how my long hair feels
I like how my long hair feels when I’m dancing
I like how my long hair feels when I’m dancing
Oh I do believe, it’s new to me
The jubilee
Oh all the weight alleviates
Day by day
Now I’m letting it all grow out again
Didn’t think I could get better til I did
Maybe I’m starting to know myself again
And I like how my long hair feels when I’m dancing
I like how my long hair feels
