Chords for Conan Gray "Heather" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

Everyone in life has a Heather, you [A] know, everyone has that one person that you just
[C] you can't help it.
You're just really jealous of them and you hate them a little bit, but you're
also like, gosh, you're so perfect.
Why do [Em] I hate you?
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ So [C] I wrote this song while I was sitting in
bed and I, you know, I'd wanted to write a song about this experience for [N] so long, but I was
always like way too, I guess, almost embarrassed to talk about it, you know, like no one really
wants to admit that they're really jealous of someone, you know, and I also was scared that
maybe like I was the only one who felt that way, who'd ever felt that way, or I thought maybe like
maybe people would judge me or tell me that I'm a bad person for feeling that way because there
was no reason why I should be able to dislike Heather because she was wonderful. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ You said it looked better [E] on me than it did you, only if you knew how much I [Abm] liked you, but I'll watch your eyes as she_
I wrote the [D] song about the person that I was really in love with when I was in high [C] school.
I'm like recounting this day [N] on December 3rd, which is two days before my birthday, so I got
my heart just like obliterated two days before my birthday.
I had this one sweater that they really
liked and I would wear it over and over and over because I knew that if I wore it that they would
be like, oh I love that sweater.
I'm [Ab] like, I know you love that sweater.
[Em] I just, you know, maybe I put it on for your attention. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] She was just like the most wonderful person you could ever meet.
She was beautiful inside and out, just like kind and sweet.
[G] Never mean to anyone, so [C] wonderful and smart and hardworking and lovable and soft and sweet and
I always felt like I'm none of those things.
I'm not easily lovable, I feel like.
I feel like [Cm] I'm
kind of one of those more [B] abrasive people and she was [C] kind of always everything that I wasn't
and so every time I looked at her I was like, oh like you're so perfect, like you're everything
that I'm not.
Along with that, the person that I really liked in high school didn't like me back.
They liked Heather, you know, and so anytime Heather would walk by or anytime we were around Heather,
I would look at the person that I, you know, was in love with for years and [D] years and they
weren't looking [G] back at me.
They're looking at Heather and that's just [Gb] kind of the truth of the
[C] situation and sometimes it just be like that.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ _ [Db] For so much of my life, I mean [C] even now, I find it like really hard to believe when somebody
likes me, you know.
I'm like, why, like why, why was she, you know.
I think I was so accustomed [Bbm] to
hating myself my whole entire life and being told [Abm] that I should hate myself that it's really hard for
me to just like accept love.
[Bb] I think it's maybe a Gen Z thing, like we're all very like self,
[A] I don't know.
We [N] really don't, we're not very nice to ourselves.
The chorus to me is like me
listing out all the things that I, all the reasons why, why it makes sense that [B] my crush doesn't love
[A] me back and loves Heather [B] instead. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ Of course you're in [N] love with Heather.
I mean, I'm in love with Heather.
Who isn't in love with Heather? _
Watch as she stands with her holding your hand, put your arm around her shoulder.
Now I'm getting colder.
It's only been a little bit of time since I've been in high school, not that much time has passed, but
it still feels extremely fresh to me and it comforts me that like everyone has somebody
like that, you know.
It makes me feel like, oh I'm not alone in this, in this feeling.
[Dm] It also makes
you feel bad, like geez, like who hurt all of us?
Like we all deserve to have reciprocated love.
Like I
feel so bad that there's like millions of people on earth who are like, [Eb] ha, no one's ever liked me
back either.
Like, I'm sorry. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] You know, I always couldn't really justify [Db] hating her, but I couldn't help the fact that like when I looked at her, I was like,
damn, [D] I wish you didn't exist.
That was kind of one of [N] the lines where I was like, yeah,
like I'm so sorry, Heather.
Like you're so wonderful, but I do wish you were dead.
But I don't, Heather, if you're watching this, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
_ I wish I were Heather. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ That's really funny because like so many people have like gone online and been like, oh, like
I'm Heather.
I'm Heather.
Like Conor wrote Heather about me.
And I'm like, first of all, that's a really
bold thing to say.
Like, [Cm] imagine like, imagine this, like imagine you're like sitting somewhere
and like you like hear a song about [B] how like a person who's [Bb] legitimately perfecting you're like,
oh, that sounds [N] about me.
Like the like ego, like the self-confidence you need for that's honestly
pretty impressive.
But it's also weird because like it's all just like random people I've like
never seen in my life.
I'm like, Jesus, like people really believe anything they see on the internet.
Like I could literally be like, oh yeah, Heather's about Phineas and Ferb.
And they'd be like, oh,
it is.
It's about Phineas and Ferb.
People just believe anything.
So I think it's kind of a funny,
weird witch hunt that's going on.
And I think it's more just like, you know, if the song means
something to you, that's what it means.
And everyone has their own Heather, you know,
like it doesn't really matter who the original Heather is.
It's a lot more like, [Ebm] you know,
you have a Heather and you're ignoring it by trying to look for the original Heather.
But
like you're going to find that you have a Heather and you're like, you know, it's Heather.
You have
one already. _
_ [Em] It is embarrassing how [A] many songs I've written about [Eb] the same
