Heather
Conan Gray Lyrics
I still remember third of December
Me in your sweater, you said it looked better
On me, than it did you, only if you knew
How much I liked you, but I watch your eyes
As she walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than the blue sky
She's got you mesmerized
While I die
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater
It's just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were Heather
Watch as she stands with her holding your hand
Put your arm 'round her shoulder, now I'm getting colder
But how could I hate her? She's such an angel
But then again, kinda wish she were dead
As she walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than a blue sky
She's got you mesmerized
While I die
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater
It's just polyester
But you like her better
I wish I were Heather
(Oh)
Wish I were Heather
(Oh, oh)
Wish I were Heather
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater
It's just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were

I still remember the third of December, me in your sweater
You said it looked better on me than it did you
Only if you knew how much I liked you
But I watch your eyes as she
Walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than the blue sky
She's got you mesmerized while I die
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were Heather
Watch as she stands with her, holding your hand
Put your arm 'round her shoulder, now I'm getting colder
But how could I hate her? She's such an angel
But then again, kinda wish she were dead as she
Walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than the blue sky
She's got you mesmerized while I die
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester
But you like her better
I wish I were Heather
I wish I were Heather
(Oh, oh)
Wish I were Heather
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were..

<3 Lyrics:I still remember, third of December, me in your sweater
You said it looked better on me than it did you
Only if you knew, how much I liked you
But I watch your eyes as she
Walks by
What a sight for sore eyes, brighter than a blue sky
She's got you mesmerized while I die
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester
But you like her better
(Wish I were Heather)
Watch as she stands with her holding your hand
Put your arm 'round her shoulder, now I'm getting colder

But then again, kinda wish she were dead as she

(Oh) wish I were Heather
(Oh, oh) wish I were Heather
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were...
heyitsme !
to all the people listening to this song, wishing they were heather:
you are more than that. you are more than a replacement, than an expectation, or whatever is the reason why you are listening to this song right now thinking you are not enough.
you are you, and that is what makes you unique. and if someone doesn't understand that, it's their fault, not yours baby.
someday, near or far, you will find someone who loves you completely, not because you are heather, but because it's you. and that will be more than enough, i promise.
but until then, be the person you love most of all
you don't need to be heather.
you need to be yourself, and i promise you, it's worthy.
love you <3

There is this boy that I’ve liked for 3 years straight. I noticed him right away on the first day of school, August 2019. We started talking more and more day after day. I thought heaven had come to me. Every day I wake up excited for school. Always because wondering what would happen.
Until this shitty pandemic ruined it all.
Because of covid, we had distance learning. I always had his screen maximized, observing his every habit and movement. Just like that, I failed 4 classes. But with no regret at all. (Didn’t see him from march 2020 to July 2021)
Now that school’s back open, he’s grown taller, his voice is different, his facial changes, and mature vibes, because of my observations from distance learning, I recognized him right away. Sadly, there aren't any classes with him in all 6 periods.
After 5th period, we both go in opposite directions, so I often see him heading to English, and I heading to choir in the hallway. Every time, I always look for him in the crowds. Whenever I don’t see him, I feel an uncomfortable feeling in my heart. And when I do, I feel like my whole day has been lit by him.
I
often see him with his friend's group, he stood out to me a lot. I always look for him during breaks, like a simp. I always wanted to say a quick hello but never had the courage to.
Just like that, I haven’t talked, contacted, or anything with him. 3 years, man….
So many people on the internet say “Life is too short, do what you must do.” But really, it’s hard… I’ve wanted to tell him at the end of a school year, but covid hit in. Now my courage is completely gone.
My whole day could go in a bad mood whenever I see him with a girl. I just feel this twisted knott in my heart, that will never go away. I want him to stay away from the girl... but how could I say something like that?
“When you like somebody for more than 4 months, it’s love”
Yeah, a painful love,

He pulled a "get ready with me" on us and I'm so here for it
I'm so glad conan's music is getting more recognization, he's and always be like a big brother to me, the one i will be happy if he is, sad if he is or angry if he is. Going from Streaming Lovesick boys and You think I'm crazy to streaming his album is something I'm really proud of
Dear conan, i know it may be hard sometimes but remember how you always wanted to be a singer, now it's happening! You're beautiful inside and out, talented, funny, worthy, friendly and I'm so glad you're going places rn
