"Halloween" lyrics

"Halloween"

I can feel the imprint of where you used to touch me
When we'd talk 'til we couldn't see
We'd fall asleep just holding each other
And I'd wake up to you still just holding me
Surprised you on your birthday
Blew up balloons 'til I felt sick
And fell asleep alone in our old bed
I hoped that it would make you love me again
But after that, I realized you never did

I spent Halloween crying off my makeup
A skeleton of who I used to be
Tryna figure out what you dressed up as
Screaming your name off the balcony
The ghost of someone who used to

Love me
Love me

I saw you today and we couldn't have a conversation
You met me on the street and wouldn't invite me in
You kept stroking my face like nothing had changed
And we made small talk about how long it's been

I spent Halloween crying off my makeup
A skeleton of who I used to be
Tryna figure out what you dressed up as
Screaming your name off the balcony
The ghost of someone who used to

Love me
Love me

And you're too scared to say you've fallen out of love
And now it's Halloween, a year since we first touched
We were two drunk girls in cheap costumes
And now we're strangers, pretending that we're more than nothing
This Halloween has been deadly
Maybe next year, you'll pretend to love me
