'Don't chase girls. Chase a career. Chase enough money and girls will come. Don't dwell on heartbreak, work yourself to death and don't get married, the next time I meet you better be at your funeral because you have worked yourself to death'.

One and half year later
'This is my girlfriend. We're getting engaged. Yeah chase love. It's beautiful'.

He gave her a choice,
take his hand and go,
she wanted to listen to his voice,
but she also wanted to stay though,

She hated it here,
nights spent alone in a crowd,
mixed with sweat and beer,
suddenly it became too loud,

She needed to get out,
leave this place,
but she was anxious with soo much doubt,
she dreamt too much of what it would be like in outer space,

He was there for her,
more than she deserved really,
and she life was going by in a blur,
she wanted to be okay freely,

She was always sad,
feeling like baggage and not good enough,
always feeling mad,
but she's gotta stay tough,

She wants to feel alive,
and not have to worry about it all,
she wants to turn up the music and go for a drive,
and dance in the dark to the rhythm of the rainfall.

His eyes are locked on you,
Daring you to flinch.
Everybody's starring,
But you cannot give an inch.
Everything you have--
Everything that matters--
Has  been melted down and made
Into your armor, now battered.
The fight for him is just for sport,
A way to gain some scraps of honor.
The fight for you is for a life--
Consequences far more dire.
You cannot turn and run,
There is no option of surrender.
The loss of souls or souls conserved
Won't be how victory is measured.
Neither choice would end this fight.
You're fighting everyday.
And ending confrontation
Won't take that fight away.
The odds are stacked against you,
You'll die before the fighting's done.
But you will stand your ground
Even if you're the only one.
For it wasn't choice that put you here
But rather unlucky birth.
And this fight will take your life
Even if that's not what it's worth.
