The Me Inside of Me [Original West End Cast Recording]

Laurence O'Keefe, Kevin Murphy

Think long and hard conjure her up in
Your mind what would Heather 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"

I'm telling ya
Principal Gowan heather Chandler is
Not your everyday suicide
You should cancel classes

No way, coach i send the kids home
Before lunch and the
Switchboard will light up like
A Christmas tree

Our children are dying! What
This school needs
Is a good old-fashioned rap session
I suggest we get everyone into the
Cafeteria and just talk and feel, together

Thank you
Ms fleming call me when the shuttle lands

Oh go ahead, laugh at the hippie
But I'm telling you, we
All misjudged Heather Chandler
Myself included have you read this
Suicide note? Really read it?

"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!"

"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's 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 i want you all
To study the suicide note
So you can really feel Heather's anguish

Her world seemed like a perfect place

Go on!

But friends and toys had no effect

Feel!

That's why she punched me in the face

Heal!

'Cause she was desperate to connect!

(VERONICA laughs)

Veronica? Is something on your mind?

I'm sorry, it's just that this classroom
Discussion has stirred up
Emotions I haven't felt since
Hands Across America!

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

Holy crap, this is awesome!

Heather cried
Our sins fell on her shoulders!

Jesus Christ!

Heather died, so we could all be free!

I'm bigger than John Lennon!

Heather's gone, but she will live forever!

She's the dove that sings outside my window!

She's the twin from whom I'm separated!

She's the horse I never got for Christmas!

Heather sees the me inside of me!

Heather is the me inside of me!
Inside of me!
