Our lives, they are programmed to have a match. But when we find them will it be real love, Or will it be a love that is imposed? Truly significant, is our other? Will it really be worth it in the end? That thought is the only one on my mind.

Feelings must surrender to the mind. My mind has met its most difficult match: The person I must live with ‘til the end, Will not have my full devotion of love. Pulling my heart’s strings are feelings for others, And it goes against all that is imposed.

Thrust upon me, a false love is imposed. A big mistake was made on my mind, Another loves me and I love an other. But she cannot ever be my match, The system, based not at all upon love, We are the beginning of the end.

It’s in sight, can anyone else see the end? A dark lonely road, that isn't imposed. Does anyone else want to choose who they love? Can they reverse what has been done to the mind? Can I be with her, my true love and match? She’s all I want, don’t want to love any other.

I won't surrender to any other, I will stay true to her until my end. Like a death by poison is my false match, When I was born, upon me this was imposed. But my love for her has infected my mind, Inside of me, I can’t calm this burning love.

I will not settle for the one I don’t love, I refuse to be with any other. No longer will they control my mind, Like a warrior, I’ll fight until the end. I refuse to listen to the rules imposed, I’m told the one I love cannot be my match.

This is my mind, I refuse the imposed. In order to love, I must ignite the match. This is the end. Way out, there’s no other.
