Scene Nine: Resentment Lyrics - Beyoncé

1 I wish I could believe you; then I'll be all right

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

3 To the way I feel inside

4 Loving you was easy once upon a time

5 But now my suspicions of you have multiplied

6 And it's all because you lied

7 [Chorus]

8 I only give you a hard time

9 'Cause I can't go on and pretend like

10 I haven't tried to forget this

11 But I'm much too full of resentment

12 Just can't seem to get over the way you hurt me

13 Don't know how you gave another who didn't mean a thing

14 The very thing you gave to me

15 I thought I could forgive you, and I know you've changed

16 As much as I wanna trust you, I know it ain't the same

17 And it's all because you lied

18 [Chorus]

19 I may never understand why

20 I'm doing the best that I can, and I

21 I tried and I tried to forget this

22 But I'm much too full of resentment

23 I'll always remember feeling like I was no good

24 Like I couldn't do it for you like your mistress could

25 And it's all because you lied

26 Loved you more than ever

27 More than my own life

28 The best part of me I gave you

29 It was sacrifice

30 And it's all because you lied

31 I only give you a hard time

32 'Cause I can't go on and pretend like

33 I tried and I tried to forget this

34 But I'm too damn full of resentment

35 I know she was attractive, but I was here first

36 Been ridin' with you for six years

37 Why did I deserve to be treated this way by you, you?

38 I know you're probably thinking "what's up with B?"

39 I been crying for too long; what did you do to me?

40 I used to be so strong, but now you took my soul

41 I'm crying--can't stop crying, can't stop crying

42 You could have told me that you wasn't happy

43 I know you didn't wanna hurt me

44 But look what you done to me now

45 I gotta look at her in her eyes and see she's had half of me

46 How could you lie?
