Lirik dan Makna ‘Heather’, Kisah Cinta Sepihak Canon Gray

Jakarta – ‘Heather’ adalah lagu kesepuluh dari album debut Conan Gray berjudul ‘Kid Grow’.

Dirilis pada 2020, lagu ini bercerita tentang seseorang yang patah hati karena orang yang dia suka mencintai perempuan bernama Heather.

Dalam sebuah wawancara, Conan Gray menyebut ‘Heather’ sebagai kisah paling jujur dari kehidupan cintanya saat itu.

Dengan kata lain, lagu ini ditulis dari kehidupan pribadi Conan, di mana orang yang dia suka jatuh cinta dengan sosok Heather.

“Saya pikir itu adalah kisah paling jujur dari kehidupan cinta saya. Ini tentang seorang gadis bernama Heather. Saya pikir setiap orang punya sosok Heather dalam hidup mereka,” ungkap Conan.

Namun seperti yang diungkap Canon dalam verse 2, Heather adalah sosok yang sempurna sehingga tidak ada alasan dirinya membenci Heather.

“Orang yang sangat aku sukai jatuh cinta pada Heather. Dia tidak mencintaiku. Karena itu, aku sangat membenci Heather dengan segenap hati dan jiwaku. Tapi sebenarnya aku tidak punya alasan untuk membencinya karena dia gadis yang sangat baik,”

Berikut lirik lengkap lagu ‘Heather’ yang dibawakan Conan Gray!

[Verse 1]

I still remember, third of December, me in your sweater

You said it looked better on me than it did you

Only if you knew, how much I liked you

But I watch your eyes as she

[Pre-Chorus]

Walks by

What a sight for sore eyes, brighter than a blue sky

She's got you mesmerized while I die

[Chorus]

Why would you ever kiss me?

I'm not even half as pretty

You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester

But you like her better

(Wish I were Heather)

[Verse 2]

Watch as she stands with her, holding your hand

Put your arm 'round her shoulder, now I'm getting colder

But how could I hate her? She's such an angel

But then again, kinda wish she were dead as she

[Pre-Chorus]

Walks by

What a sight for sore eyes, brighter than a blue sky

She's got you mesmerized while I die

[Chorus]

Why would you ever kiss me?

I'm not even half as pretty

You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester

But you like her better

(I wish I were Heather)

 

[Bridge]

(Oh) Wish I were Heather

(Oh, oh) Wish I were Heather

 

[Chorus]

Why would you ever kiss me?

I'm not even half as pretty

You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester

But you like her better

Wish I were
