### 🎃 "Halloween Isn't the Same Without You" Sad, haunting Halloween ballad — nostalgic, dreamy, delicate vocals that slowly build into a heartbreaking chorus. \[Verse 1 – Soft, nostalgic\] It's that time of year again, the leaves are turning brown, The little ghosts are hanging up all over town. I take the same old walk we used to take, Past the haunted houses and the little pumpkin lakes. I see the children running, dressed up in the night, With their little paper lanterns glowing in the light. And I remember when that used to be me and you, Making all those memories underneath the October moon. I swear I hear your laughter in the autumn breeze, Like you're still walking right beside me. But I turn around and there's nobody there, Just a cold October night and an empty pair of stairs. \[Chorus 1 – Sweet, aching\] Ohhh, it's Halloween without youuu, And nothing feels the way it used to doooo. All the ghosts and ghouls are dancing in the street, But there's nobody walking next to me. I used to love October, I used to love this time, When every little spooky night was yours and mine. Now the pumpkins glow, but my heart feels blue, Oh, Halloween isn't Halloween without youuuu. \[Verse 2 – More emotional, progressive pain\] I remember all the costumes that we used to wear, The silly little pictures, the cold October air. We'd walk for hours with nowhere to go, Just chasing all the shadows underneath the streetlights' glow. And I'd give anything to have one more night, To walk those same old streets with you by my side. To hear you say my name, to see your silly smile, To make another memory, just for a little while. But the decorations come down, and the seasons move along, And everybody's celebrating while I'm singing our old song. Funny how a holiday that used to feel so sweet, Is now another lonely night walking down the street. \[Chorus 2 – Bigger, powerful vocals\] OH, IT'S HALLOWEEN WITHOUT YOUUU! AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DOOO! THE WITCHES ARE FLYING, THE CHILDREN ARE SCREAMING, AND I'M STILL HERE WALKING THROUGH THE MEMORIES! I SEE OUR OLD PLACES, I SEE OUR OLD STREETS, I SEE ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU USED TO MEAN TO ME! THE WORLD'S WEARING COSTUMES, THE NIGHT'S TURNING BLUE, BUT IT'S JUST ANOTHER FALL WITHOUT YOUUU! \[Bridge – Strip back to piano, almost whispering\] Maybe next October won't hurt quite this way, Maybe I'll find something new to celebrate. But tonight I'm just a little nostalgic, I suppose, Missing the person who made this season feel like home. And I don't miss the candy, or the costumes we wore, I miss having someone to knock on every door. I miss being excited when October came around, I miss the way you made this little town feel magical somehow. \[Final Chorus – Heartbreaking, huge orchestral build\] OH, IT'S HALLOWEEN WITHOUT YOUUU! AND THE AUTUMN NEVER FEELS THE SAME WAY TOO! ALL THE GHOSTS ARE OUT, THE MOON IS SHINING BRIGHT, BUT I'D TRADE ALL THESE MEMORIES FOR ONE MORE NIGHT! I USED TO LOVE THE COLD, I USED TO LOVE THE FALL, I USED TO THINK OCTOBER WAS THE BEST OF THEM ALL! NOW THE LEAVES ARE FALLING, AND I'M MISSING YOU, AND HALLOWEEN'S JUST ANOTHER DAY IN FALL TO GET THROUGHUUU! \[Outro – Gentle, haunting piano\] So I'll take that walk again next year, Past the little ghosts that used to bring me cheer. And maybe I'll smile at the memories we knew... But it'll never be the same... no Not without youuuu, it's Halloween, but to me it's just another day in fallllllll.
