"Halloween" lyrics

Too many mornings I wake up
With an anvil on my chest
Already putting fires out
That I started in my head

I'm getting tired of wrapping up my circumstances
Just to make them seem attractive
Then hold my breath for your reaction
But I still do...

I don't wanna miss the party
Trying be somebody else
I don't need you to love me
If it puts me through hell
If this isn't Halloween
Why would I pretend to be
Anything but myself

Tried every outfit on I own
It didn't get me too far
Don't wanna seem too casual
Don't wanna look too try hard

Why do I care so much
If everyone's doing the same thing
Think of how much time we're wasting
Always overcompensating
But I still do...

I don't wanna miss the party
Trying be somebody else
I don't need you to love me
If it puts me through hell
If this isn't Halloween
Why would I pretend to be
Anything but myself

Anything but myself
Anything but myself
Anything but myself
Myself

I don't wanna miss the party
I never do
I don't wanna be somebody else

I don't wanna miss the party
Trying be somebody else
I don't need you to love me
If it puts me through hell
If this isn't Halloween
Why would I pretend to be
Anything but myself...
