St. Meave
​in vain
tell me truthfully
if i gave you my heart as if it were a rose
would it be in vain?
would all my attempts give me nothing to gain?
would you let the rose wilt
not out of neglect
but out of a lack of care
you knew it was in need
but you lacked empathy for its health
would you give my organ the same fait?
or would you treat it with kindness for second
after a moment in time

you decide
which season you prefer
and after that i cannot change
im aware that he is summer
and that i'm winter
just because i don’t measure up to your heights
doesn't mean i have no weight

hes a roaring fire
im just a flame
ill fade over the night
but he'll manage to shine for the rest of your life
i wont let who i am go to waste
i wont give you my all for it to be in vain
i deserve a far more fair game
i deserve a better trade
i was always going to be in second place
i wont let it be in vain
hes the sun
i am the moon
no matter how much brightness i provide
he’ll always outshine
it isn't my fault that you cannot find the beauty that resides within the dark
im not at fault for not guaranteeing a spark
all the years that i wasted down the drain
i wont let anymore be in vain
