Think long and hard
Conjure her up in your mind
What would she say?
What is her final statement to a cold, uncaring planet?
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
That's good
But oh, the world, it held me down
It weighed like a concrete prom queen crown
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!
Keep going
This has to be good enough to fool the cops
Whoa! Is it murder?
No, look
Here's a suicide note
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
They've left me a myriad of scars
Myriad, nice
No one thinks a pretty girl has substance
That's the curse of popularity
I am more than just a source of handjobs
No one sees the me inside of me
Heather chandler is not your everyday suicide
You should cancel classes
No way, coach
I send the kids home before lunch
And the switchboard'll light up like a christmas tree
Our children are dying!
I suggest we get everyone into the cafeteria and just talk and feel, together
Thank you, ms. Fleming
Call me when the shuttle lands
I'm telling you, we all misjudged heather chandler
This is the loveliest suicide note I've ever read
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!
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
Aw, hell
Long weekend for everybody!
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
I never knew about her pain
Go on!
Her life had hit a rocky patch
Feel!
Deep down she wasn't cruel or vain
Heal!
She didn't mean to be such a snatch!
Veronica, you're very quiet
What's on your mind
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
My God
Look what we've done
We're breaking through!
Heather would be so proud of you!
And you!
And you!
And you!
And you!
No one thinks a pretty girl can touch you
Heather touching me
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
