They said he would come for me

Said I should never leave here again

If I knew what was good for me

What does it look like outside now?

It has been five years since I've seen the sun

Felt a breeze, grass beneath my feet

Rapunzel stayed, locked in

Her apartment

Paranoid, frightened,

For the one they called

The Prince

She had long run out of meals,

She only had scraps

Her clothes hung off her, from weight lost

Her hair, long before, was now

Past her feet, tripping her

I cannot stay here forever...

But I must.

It is not safe to leave

When He is looking for me

A hollow knock at the door

Stops her dead

It is too late for me now

Rapunzel...Rapunzel...

Let down your hair.
