I Hate Being Heather
Tessa Blasko
I pretend to smile as I walk by
They don't know my real mind
Hidden from the outside
You don't see how I cry all the time
Why would you want to be me?
You wouldn't if you could just see
The face behind the mask, she's not quite so pretty
Oh, trust me you're better
I hate being Heather
Boys only want to kiss me
They think I'm no more than pretty
They use me for pleasure
Then find someone better
I say it's whatever
But it's sucks being Heather
I act like I'm fine as I walk by
Putting on my fake smile
Pretend on me inside
I don't have a dark side
It's a lie
You wouldn't want to be me
If you knew the struggles I see
Each day when I get home
I cry when I'm alone
School I seem better
'Cause I hide the real Heather
Why would you ask to be me?
I carry this weight inside me
I'm lonely forever
I feel like I'm tied
Oh, you have it better
Be glad you're not Heather
