Destroy Me

I know you despise me
 But what can I do?
 You said you once loved me
 I took it as truth
 I knew you'd destroy me
 With your very first hit
 But it's already done
 I'm too scared to admit
 The mindgames are timeless
 The anguish won't end
 I've tried to repair the things that won't mend
 The heartbreak is caustic
 The rancour lays deep
 I thought I would fight the battle so steep
 I know you resent me
 With my every breath
 I'm sorry, I'm trying
 I'd fight to the death
 I know you ignore me
 To punish my past
 To tarnish my future
 I thought it would last
 You'll take no more
 I'll rise from it all
 You'll see that I'm not who I was anymore
 You can't tear me down
 You can't bring me pain
 I will never be the martyr again
