Destroy Me

I know you despise me

But what can I do?

You once said you loved me

I took it as truth

I know 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 angish 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.
