Below, you will find the lyrics for Resentment by Beyoncé.
Verse 1
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
Lovin' you was easy once upon a time
But now my suspicions of you have multiplied
And it's all because you lied
Chorus 1
I only give you a 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
Verse 2
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
Chorus 2
I only give you a 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 doin' the best that i can, and i
I tried and i tried to forget this
But i'm much too full of resentment
Bridge
I'll always remember feelin'
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 another
More than my own life
But that part of me i gave you
It was sacrificed
And it's all because you lied
Chorus 3
I only give you a hard time
'cause i can't go on and pretend like
I tried and i tried to forget this
But i'm too damn full of resentment
Outro
I know she was attractive, but i was here first
Been ridin' with you for six years
Why did i deserve to be treated this way by you?
I know you're 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, but now you took my soul
I'm cryin', can't stop cryin', can't stop cryin'
You could've told me you wasn't happy
I know you didn't wanna hurt me
But look what you've done to me now
I gotta look at her in her eyes
And see she's had half of me
How could you lie?
