Resentment

I wish I could believe you then I'd 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

I only give you a hard time

'Cause I can't go on and pretend like

I haven't tried to forgive 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

Who didn't mean a thing, no

The very thing you gave to me

I thought I could forgive you

And I know you've changed

As much as I wanna trust you

I know it ain't the same

And it's all because you lied

I only give you a hard time

'Cause I can't go on and pretend like

I haven't tried to forgive 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 forgive this

But I'm much too full of resentment

I'll always remember feeling

Like I was no good

Like I couldn't do it for you

Like your mistress could

And it's all because you lied

Loved you more than ever

More than my own life

The best part of me I gave you

It was sacrificed

And it's all because you lied

I only give you a hard time

'Cause I can't go on and pretend like

I tried, and I tried to forgive this

But I'm too damn full of resentment

I know she was attractive

But I was here first

Been riding with you for six years

Why did I deserve

To be treated this way by you?

I know you're probably thinking

"What's up with Bey?"

I've been crying for too long

What did you do to me?

I used to be so strong

But now you took my soul

I'm crying

Can't stop crying

Can't stop crying

You could have told me

You wasn't happy

I know you didn't wanna hurt me

But look at what you been done to me now

I gotta look at her in her eyes

And see she has had half of me

How could you lie?
