[Verse 1]

I've seen the way they all look at her

When she's around

She's so pretty, she's so perfect

Turns a sleepshirt into a ballgown

I hear the gasps, the gossip

The moans and all the frowns

I wanna be like her, I wanna be like her

Is that not allowed?

So, I'm studying her diet

And the clothes she likes to wear

The way she folds her laundry

And the way she combs her hair

The way she lilts her tone

The way she sways hеr tongue

And I sit at the sidelinеs

Waiting for my time to come

[Chorus]

I know I'll never be perfect

But God knows that I'll try

I stare her up and down

She lights up a room with her smile

She's talkative at parties

And she stays for quite a while

She carries conversations

She's confident and poised

While I still struggle silently

To find my own damn voice

I'm tearing at the seams

Can't keep myself together

Crying in the bathtub

I know I'll never be Heather

[Post-Chorus]

I'll never be Heather

I'll never be like her

I'll never be better

[Verse 2]

They see me starin' at my phone

They ask me if I'm fine

Secretly, I'm lookin' at her Instagram page

For beauty tips and advice

She's effortlessly pretty

She's flawless and mature

I know I shouldn't care

But I'm crying on the floor

It's dumb and foolish, yeah, I know

But I can't let it go, I'm way too insecure

And way too scared to be alone

[Verse 3]

I think that the Lord above has favourites

And I'm just an unlucky one

That never reached his A-list

'Cause why are all these girls

So much prettier than me?

They're gorgeous, pure and perfect

Everything I'll never be

Everything I'll never be

Everything I'll never be

Maybe in the next life

Maybe in my dreams

[Bridge]

Maybe in my dreams

Maybe in my dreams

Maybe in my dreams

Maybe in my dreams

[Chorus]

I know I'll never be perfect

But God knows that I'll try

I stare her up and down

She lights up a room with her smile

She's talkative at parties

And she stays for quite a while

She carries conversations

She's confident and poised

While I still struggle silently

To find my own damn voice

I'm tearing at the seams

Can't keep myself together

Crying in the bathtub

I know I'll never be Heather

[Post-Chorus]

I'll never be Heather

I'll never be like her

I'll never be better
