Resentment

Beyonce · B'Day (Deluxe Edition) [2007]

I wish I could believe you

Then I'll be alright

But now everything you told me, really don't apply

To the way I feel inside

Loving you was easy

Once upon a time

But now my suspicions of you, have multiplied

And it's all because you lied



[chorus:]

I only give you hard time

'Cause I can't go on and pretend like

I haven't tried to forget this

But I'm much too full of resentment



Just can't seem to get over

The way you hurt me

Don't know how you gave another

What didn't mean a thing

The very thing you gave to me

I thought I could forgive you

And I know you've change

As much as I wanna trust you

I know it aint the same

And it's all it's all because you lied



[chorus:]

I only give you hard time

'Cause I can't go on and pretend like

I haven't tried to forget this

But I'm much too full of resentment

I may never understand why

I'm doing the best that I can and I

I tried and I tried to forget this

But I'm much too full of resentment



(You lied)

I'll always remember feelin'

(You lied)

Like I was no good

(You lied)

Like I couldn't do it for you

(You lied)

like your mistress could

(ohh yeah)

And it's all because you lied.



(You lied)

Loved you more than ever

(You lied)

More than my own life

(You lied)

But this part of me I gave you

(You lied)

It was sacrifice

(Sacrifice)

And it's all because you lied



[chorus:]

I only give you hard time

'Cause I can't go on and pretend like

I tried and tried to forget this

(I tried and I tired and I tired)

But I'm too damn much too full of resentment



I know she was attractive

But I was here first

Been ridin' with you for 6 years

Why did I deserve

To be treated this way by you (you)



I know your probably thinkin'

What's up with B

I been cryin' for too long

What did you do to me

I used to be so strong

Now you took my soul



I'm cryin'

Can't stop cryin'

Can't stop cryin'

You coulda told me

You wasn't happy

I know you didn't wanna hurt me

But look what you done done to me now

I gotta look at her in her eyes

And see she's half of me (You lied)

How could you lie (You lied)
