Heather
Envy's Melody: Yearning for Heather's Shadow
Lyrics
I still remember the third of December, me in your sweater
I have a vivid memory of the third of December when I wore your sweater
You said it looked better on me than it did you
You mentioned that the sweater looked better on me than it did on you
Only if you knew how much I liked you
If only you knew how much I liked you
But I watch your eyes as she
Observing your eyes as another person (she) walks past
Walks by
Describing the person (she) as a beautiful sight
What a sight for sore eyes
Expressing admiration, she is a captivating presence
Brighter than the blue sky
Comparing her to something extremely positive (brighter than the blue sky)
She's got you mesmerised while I die
She has captivated you, and I feel heartbroken
Why would you ever kiss me?
Questioning why you would choose to kiss me when I don't compare in looks
I'm not even half as pretty
Expressing a lack of confidence in physical appearance
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester
You gave her your sweater, which is just polyester, indicating a preference for her
But you like her better
Reiterating that you like her more than me
Wish I were Heather
Expressing a desire to be in her position (Heather's)
Watch as she stands with her, holding your hand
Observing you with her, holding hands, feeling left out
Put your arm 'round her shoulder, now I'm getting colder
Feeling emotionally colder as you engage with her
But how could I hate her, she's such an angel
Acknowledging her positive qualities despite the pain
But then again, kinda wish she were dead as she
Expressing conflicting emotions, wishing harm upon her
Walks by
Describing her again as a beautiful sight
What a sight for sore eyes
Repeating the admiration for her beauty
Brighter than the blue sky
She has captivated you, and I feel heartbroken (repeated sentiment)
She's got you mesmerised while I die
Questioning why you would choose to kiss me when I don't compare in looks (repeated sentiment)
Why would you ever kiss me?
Expressing a lack of confidence in physical appearance (repeated sentiment)
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, which is just polyester, indicating a preference for her (repeated sentiment)
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester
Reiterating that you like her more than me (repeated sentiment)
But you like her better
Expressing a desire to be in her position (Heather's) (repeated sentiment)
I wish I were Heather
Expressing a longing to be in Heather's position (repeated sentiment)
Oh, I wish I were Heather
Reiterating the desire to be Heather (repeated sentiment)
Oh, oh, wish I were Heather
Continuing the repetition of the wish to be Heather
Why would you ever kiss me?
Questioning why you would choose to kiss me when I don't compare in looks (repeated sentiment)
I'm not even half as pretty
Expressing a lack of confidence in physical appearance (repeated sentiment)
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester
You gave her your sweater, which is just polyester, indicating a preference for her (repeated sentiment)
But you like her better
Reiterating that you like her more than me (repeated sentiment)
Wish I were-
Continuation of the wish to be Heather (repeated sentiment)
