\[Verse 1 – Soft, dreamy vocals\] I think you're so beautiful, I think you're so pretty, October nights, you looked like magic, Dancing underneath the city lights. It's Halloween, we dressed up together, Your hand in mine, I thought forever, You always seemed so sweet to me, Like candy underneath the autumn leaves. I thought you were my sweetest treat, Something I'd be lucky just to keep, But every time I get close to you, You turn into a trick I never see through. \[Chorus 1 – Catchy, sad, melodic\] You're SWEET LIKE A TREAT, BUT YOU GIVE ME THE TRICKKKK, You kiss me so sweet, then you make me feel sickkkk, I THINK YOU'RE SO PRETTY, I THINK YOU'RE SO SWEET, BUT YOU ALWAYS LEAVE CANDY AND HEARTBREAK FOR ME. Ohhh, Halloween, why'd you have to be The night you looked like an angel to me? I dressed up for you, you dressed up for me, But underneath your costume, who were you really? \[Verse 2 – More emotional, piano enters\] I still remember the way that you smiled, Walking beside me like we were just children, You looked so lovely in your costume that night, I didn't know goodbye was hiding in your eyes. And I wonder if you remember it too, The little things that I used to do, The photographs, the laughter, the streets, The way I thought you were something sweet. But you saw me as something dirty and bad, Like I was the worst thing you ever had, I gave you my sweetest, my innocent heart, And somehow you turned it into something dark. \[Chorus 2 – Bigger vocals, emotional build\] You're SWEET LIKE A TREAT, BUT YOU GIVE ME THE TRICKKKK, I GAVE YOU MY HEART, YOU JUST PLAYED WITH ITTT, I THINK YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL, GOD, I STILL DO, BUT WHY DOES SOMETHING SO SWEET HURT LIKE YOU? Ohhh, Halloween, take me back again, To when we were happy, before all the pretending, I wanted your love, not a costume to wear, I wanted somebody who actually cared. \[Bridge – Almost whispered, haunting\] Maybe I was candy you didn't wanna keep, Maybe I was just another face you'd meet, Maybe you were never as sweet as you seemed, Maybe I just loved what I wanted to believe. And now every October, the streets look the same, But nobody calls me by that old name, There's candy and pumpkins and ghosts in the street, And I'm still remembering my sweetest trick-or-treat. \[Final Chorus – Huge, heartbreaking vocals\] YOU'RE SWEET LIKE A TREAT, BUT YOU GIVE ME THE TRICKKKK, I'M TIRED OF PRETENDING THAT NONE OF THIS HURTS, I THINK YOU'RE SO PRETTY, I THINK YOU'RE SO SWEET, BUT YOU LEFT ME WITH MEMORIES AND NOTHING TO KEEP. OH HALLOWEENNNN, WHY CAN'T I FORGETTTT? THE PRETTIEST NIGHT THAT I STILL REGRET, WE DRESSED UP TOGETHER, WE LOOKED SO COMPLETE, YOU WERE MY CANDY, MY HALLOWEEN DREAM. But I was your trick... And you were my treatttttttttt.....
