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
