The Me Inside of Me Lyrics by Jessica Keenan Wynn, Daniel Cooney, Michelle Duffy

Heathers: The Musical (World Premiere Cast Recording)

2014

[J.D., spoken]
Think
Long and hard, conjure her up in your mind
What would she say?
Wha-what's her final statement to a cold, uncaring planet?
[VERONICA, spoken]
Dear world
[VERONICA]
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., spoken]
That's good
[VERONICA]
But, oh, the world, it held me down, uh
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
[HEATHER CHANDLER, spoken]
Jesus, you're making me sound like Air Supply
[J.D., spoken]
Keep going, this has to be good enough to fool the cops
[OFFICER MCCORD, spoken]
Wo-ho-hoah
Is it murder?
[OFFICER MILNER, spoken]
No, look
Here's a suicide note
[VERONICA & H. CHANDLER]
They couldn't see past my rockstar mystique
They wouldn't dare look in my eyes
[VERONICA, H. CHANDLER & COPS]
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, spoken]
"Myriad", nice
[VERONICA, H. CHANDLER & COPS, COPS]
No one thinks a pretty girl has substance
That's the curse of popularity (Popularity)
[PRINCIPAL GOWAN]
I am more than just a source of handjobs
[VERONICA, H. CHANDLER, COPS & GOWAN]
No one sees the me inside of me
[PRINCIPAL GOWAN, spoken]
Heather Chandler's not your everyday suicide
[COACH RIPPER, spoken]
You should cancel classes
[PRINCIPAL GOWAN, spoken]
No way, Coach
I send the kids home before lunch and the switchboard'll light up like a Christmas tree
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
Our children are dying!
I suggest we get everyone into the cafeteria and just talk and feel, together
[PRINCIPAL GOWAN, spoken]
Thank you, Ms. Fleming
Call me when the shuttle lands
[The FACULTY laugh]
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
I'm telling you, we all misjudged Heather Chandler
This is the loveliest suicide note I've ever read
[MS. FLEMING & H. 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, my flats, my three TVs
[H. CHANDLER & FACULTY]
No one thinks a pretty girl has feelings
But I weep for all I failed to be (I failed to be)
Maybe I can help the world by leaving
Maybe that's the me inside of me
[PRINCIPAL GOWAN, spoken]
Aw, hell
Long weekend for everybody
[Everyone cheers]
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
Hey, 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 all can feel Heather's anguish
[HEATHER MCNAMARA]
I never knew about her pain
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
Go on
[HIPSTER DORK]
Her life had hit a rocky patch
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
Feel
[YOUNG REPUBLICANETTE]
Deep down, she wasn't cruel or vain
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
Heal
[STUDENTS]
She didn't mean to be a snatch
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
Veronica, you're very quiet
What's on your mind?
[VERONICA, spoken]
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, spoken]
My God
[MS. FLEMING]
Look what we've done, we're breaking through
Heather would be so proud of you
[STUDENTS]
And you, and you (And you, and you)
No one thinks a pretty girl can touch you
[NEW WAVE PARTY GIRL, spoken]
Heather touching me
[STUDENTS, NEW WAVE GIRL]
But she's made us better than we were (Ooh, yeah)
Heather's dead, but she will live inside me
And I'll be the me inside of her
[HEATHER CHANDLER, spoken]
Holy crap, this is awesome!
[STUDENTS]
Heather cried, our sins fell on her shoulders
[HEATHER CHANDLER, spoken]
Jesus Christ
[STUDENTS]
Heather died, so we could all be free
[HEATHER CHANDLER, spoken]
I'm bigger than John Lennon
[STUDENTS]
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 CHICK]
She's the horse I never got for Christmas
[STUDENTS]
Heather sees the me inside of me
Heather is the me inside of me
Inside of me
