When You'Ve Met Your Match

When you've met your match
there is nothing you can do
but stare them in their eyes 
and dare them to attack 

Your frantically beating heart
is the only answer you can 
manage to send them back 

You play it cool on the outside
But in the back of your mind
you know that your finished 

Just one look in their direction
causes massive leakage and 
your hearts resolve to diminish
