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
