French Wives Halloween Lyrics

If we can pretend
This won’t break your heart
When we drift away
We won’t drift apart

Take this gift that I wrote
Take your hands from my throat
Lets play games where we both scream
You kill my hopes and kill my dreams

Hold me back I’ll stand alone
You poison my mind and you break all my bones
And one more time in our own way
When I can't face the world today

And at midnight we'll howl at the moon as the clock
strikes
And I kiss you under a severed head
And this Halloween feels more to me like the new year
So we should start again

You give me my space and you give me release
You give me my time and the things that I need
And one more trick that you’ll never miss
One for the list, you're depressed, I’m obsessed, call it love nonetheless

And at midnight we'll howl at the moon as the clock
strikes
I kissed you under a severed head
And this Halloween feels more to me like the new year
So we should start again

And I have been exhausted since the moment we met
I can't retire my thoughts about you
And you were just a memory that we need to forget
You are the graveyard of ghosts I have used

And I have been exhausted since the moment we met
My eyes are tired from staring at you
And you were just a memory that we need to think of
You are the graveyard of ghosts I have used

If we can pretend
This won’t break your heart
When we drift away
We won’t drift apart
