dear moon

I'm sorry how the streetlights outshine you
While you're trying your best to lighten up the world as it darkens
Sometimes you're half, quarter, or you're full
Sometimes you disappear and I've never understood why
Is it because of all the people who stop by and try to take pictures of you?
Are you just camera shy?

Up in the sky, a lifetime away
As strangers pass by and admire you how they may
We're just a microscopical spec to you
But don't you know you're our whole view?
I'm sorry how you're used in metaphors
By people trying hard to cover up their interior flaws
Dishing out compliments
When that's not really what they meant

I'm tired of how we throw your name around
Your profound crown
'Cause we aren't half as bright as you

So I'm sorry how the streetlights outshine you
