Paroles de 'The Me Inside Of Me' par Heathers

[J.D.]
Think long and hard
Conjure her up in your mind
What would she say?
What is her final statement to a cold, uncaring planet?

[Veronica]
Dear world
Believe it or not, I knew about fear
I knew the way loneliness stung
I hid behind smiles and crazy hot clothes
I learned to kiss boys with my tongue

[J.D.]
That's good

[Veronica]
But oh, the world, it held me down
It weighed like a concrete prom queen crown

[Heather Chandler]
No one thinks a pretty girl has feelings
No one gets her insecurity
I am more than shoulder pads and makeup
No one sees the me inside of me

Jesus, you're making me sound like Air Supply!

[J.D.]
Keep going
This has to be good enough to fool the cops

[McCord]
Whoa! Is it murder?

[Milner]
No, look, here's a suicide note

[Veronica, Heather, Cops]
They couldn't see past my rockstar mystique
They wouldn't dare look in my eyes
But just underneath was a terrified girl
Who clings to her pillow and cries!
My looks were just like prison bars

[Veronica, Cops]
They've left me a myriad of scars

[Heather Chandler]
Myriad, nice

[Veronica, Heather, Cops]
No one thinks a pretty girl has substance
That's the curse of popularity

[Principal Gowan]
I am more than just a source of handjobs

[Veronica, Heather, Gowan, Cops]
No one sees the me inside of me

[Principal Gowan]
Heather Chandler is not your everyday suicide

[Coach Ripper]
You should cancel classes

[Principal Gowan]
No way, Coach
I send the kids home before lunch and the switchboard'll light up like a Christmas tree

[Ms. Fleming]
Our children are dying!
I suggest we get everyone into the cafeteria and just talk and feel, together

[Principal Gowan]
Thank you, Ms. Fleming
Call me when the shuttle lands

[Ms. Fleming]
I'm telling you, we all misjudged Heather Chandler
This is the loveliest suicide note I've ever read

[Ms. Fleming & Heather Chandler]
Box up my clothing for Goodwill
And give the poor my Nordic Track
Donate my car to crippled kids
Or to those ghetto moms on crack
Give them my hats and my CDs
My pumps and my flats, my three TVs!

[Heather Chandler, Faculty]
No one thinks a pretty girl has feelings
But I weep for all I failed to be
Maybe I can help the world by leaving
Maybe that the me inside of me

[Principal Gowan]
Aw, hell! Long weekend for everybody!

[Ms. Fleming]
Not so fast, kids
They're refueling the buses, which gives us a solid half-hour of healing
Now I have mimeographed copies of the suicide note
So you can feel Heather's anguish
I'll pass the suicide note around so you can feel Heather's anguish

[Heather McNamara]
I never knew about her pain

[Ms. Fleming]
Go on!

[Hipster Dork]
Her life had hit a rocky patch

[Ms. Fleming]
Feel!

[Young Republicanette]
Deep down she wasn't cruel or vain -

[Ms. Fleming]
Heal!

[Kids]
She didn't mean to be such a snatch!

[Ms. Fleming]
Veronica, you're very quiet
What's on your mind?

[Veronica]
Uh, maybe Heather realized that in order to be happy she had to give up her power
And that the only way to do that was death

[Ms. Fleming]
My God
Look what we've done
We're breaking through!
Heather would be so proud of you!

[Kids]
And you!
And you!
And you!
And you!

[Everybody]
No one thinks a pretty girl can touch you

[Goth Girl]
Heather touching me

[Everybody]
But she's made us better than we were
Heather's dead, but she will live inside me
And I'll be the me inside of her

[Heather Chandler]
Holy crap! This is awesome!

[Everybody]
Heather cried, our sins fell on her shoulders!

[Heather Chandler]
Jesus Christ!

[Everybody]
Heather died, so we could all be free!

[Heather Chandler]
I'm bigger than John Lennon!

[Kids]
Heather's gone, but she will live forever!

[Martha]
She's the dove that sings outside my window!

[Beleaguered Geek]
She's the twin from whom
I'm separated!

[Stoner Girl]
She's the horse I never got for Christmas!

[Kids]
Heather sees the me inside of me!

[Everybody]
Heather is the me inside of me!
Inside of me!
